Bildad Says Man Is Inferior
1Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,
2“Dominion and awe belong to God;
He establishes peace and order in His high places.
3“Is there any number to His [vast celestial] armies?
And upon whom does His light not rise?
4“How then can man be justified and righteous with God?
Or how can he who is born of a woman be pure and clean? [Ps 130:3; 143:2]
5“Behold, even the moon has no brightness [compared to God’s majesty and glory]
And the stars are not pure in His sight,
6How much less man, that maggot,
And the son of man, that worm!”

Bildad Speaks
1Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
2Dominion and dread#2Ch 20:29; Jb 13:11; Ps 36:1 belong to him,
the one who establishes harmony in his heights.
3Can his troops be numbered?
Does his light not shine on everyone?
4How can a human be justified before God?#Jb 9:2; Ps 143:2; Rm 3:20
How can one born of woman be pure?#Jb 4:17; 15:14; Pr 20:9
5If even the moon does not shine
and the stars are not pure in his sight,#Jb 4:18; 15:15; 21:22
6how much less a human, who is a maggot,
a son of man,#25:6 Or a mere mortal who is a worm!#Ps 8:4; 22:6; Is 41:14
