Bildad: How can man be righteous?

1
Then Bildad also replied:
2
“God is very powerful; everyone should honor him very much; he causes everything to be peaceful high up in heaven, with no confusion at all.
3
Can anyone count the angels who are in his army in heaven? Is there any person on whom his light does not shine?
4
So how can God consider any person to be righteous? How can he accept any human being?
5
Consider this: God does not even think that the full moon is bright, and he does not even accept the stars in the heavens as worthy of him.
6
So what about humans? They are as insignificant as maggots. God does not think more highly of people than he thinks of worms.”

Bildad: How can man be righteous?

1
Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
2
Dominion and fear are with him. He makes peace in his high places.
3
Can his armies be counted? On whom does his light not arise?
4
How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?
5
Behold, even the moon has no brightness, and the stars are not pure in his sight;
6
How much less man, who is a worm, and the son of man, who is a worm!”
