DOUAI-RHEIMSNEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Then Baldad the Suhite answered, and I said:1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
2 Power and terror are with him, who maketh peace in his high places.2 Dominion and awesomeness are his who brings about harmony in his heavens.
3 Is there any numbering of his soldiers? and upon whom shall not his light arise?3 Is there any numbering of his troops? Yet to which of them does not his light extend?
4 Can man be justified compared with God, or he that is born of a woman appear clean?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 doth not shine, 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 How much less man that is rottenness and the son of man who is a worm?6 How much less man, who is but a maggot, the son of man, who is only a worm?
