Chapter Summary

Bildad delivers a brief final speech affirming God's absolute majesty and humanity's utter unworthiness. He asks how a mortal can be righteous or pure before God when even the stars and moon are not pure in God's sight. This speech is the shortest in the dialogue cycle and marks the friends' argument as exhausted.

1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

2Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places.

3Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?

4How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

5Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.

6How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?
