CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAINNEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Then Baldad the Suhite answered by saying:1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
2 Power and terror are with him that makes a pact with those in high places.2 Dominion and awesomeness are his who brings about harmony in his heavens.
3 Is there any limit to the number of his soldiers or to the number of those over whom his light rises?3 Is there any numbering of his troops? Yet to which of them does not his light extend?
4 Is it right for man to compare himself to God, or to appear pure though he is born of woman?4 How can a man be just in God's sight, or how can any woman's child be innocent?
5 Behold, even the moon is not radiant, and the stars are not pure, in his sight.5 Behold, even the moon is not bright and the stars are not clear in his sight.
6 Is man much more than rottenness and the son of man much more than worms?6 How much less man, who is but a maggot, the son of man, who is only a worm?
