Bildad: How can man be righteous?

1
Then Baldad the Suhite answered by saying:
2
Power and terror are with him that makes a pact with those in high places.
3
Is there any limit to the number of his soldiers or to the number of those over whom his light rises?
4
Is it right for man to compare himself to God, or to appear pure though he is born of woman?
5
Behold, even the moon is not radiant, and the stars are not pure, in his sight.
6
Is man much more than rottenness and the son of man much more than worms?
