  • Bildad Speaks: Man Cannot Be Righteous

    Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
  • Bildad

    Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
  • “Dominion and fear are with God;a
    he makes peace in his high heaven.
  • “Dominion and awe belong to God;
    he establishes order in the heights of heaven.
  • Is there any number to his armies?
    Upon whom does his light not arise?
  • Can his forces be numbered?
    On whom does his light not rise?
  • How then can man be in the right before God?
    How can he who is born of woman be pure?
  • How then can a mortal be righteous before God?
    How can one born of woman be pure?
  • Behold, even the moon is not bright,
    and the stars are not pure in his eyes;
  • If even the moon is not bright
    and the stars are not pure in his eyes,
  • how much less man, who is a maggot,
    and the son of man, who is a worm!”
  • how much less a mortal, who is but a maggot —
    a human being, who is only a worm!”
