Bildad: Justified With God?

25 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered:

“Dominion and awe are with Him;
    He establishes shalom in His heights.
Can His armies be counted?
    On whom does His light not rise?
How then can a man be righteous with God?
    How can one born of a woman be pure?
If even the moon is not bright
    and the stars are not pure in His eyes,
how much less man who is but a maggot—
    a son of man who is a worm!”

Bildad

25 Then Bildad the Shuhite(A) replied:

“Dominion and awe belong to God;(B)
    he establishes order in the heights of heaven.(C)
Can his forces be numbered?
    On whom does his light not rise?(D)
How then can a mortal be righteous before God?
    How can one born of woman be pure?(E)
If even the moon(F) is not bright
    and the stars are not pure in his eyes,(G)
how much less a mortal, who is but a maggot—
    a human being,(H) who is only a worm!”(I)
