Bildad's Third Speech
God Is the One To Fear
1 Bildad from Shuah said:
2 God is the one to fear,
because God is in control
and rules the heavens.
3 Who can count his army of stars?
Isn't God the source of light?
4 How can anyone be innocent
in the sight of God?
5 To him, not even the light
of the moon and stars
can ever be pure.
6 So how can we humans,
when we are merely worms?
1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and sayd, 2 Power and feare is with him, that maketh peace in his hie places. 3 Is there any nomber in his armies? and vpon whom shall not his light arise? 4 And howe may a man be iustified with God? or how can he be cleane, that is borne of woman? 5 Behold, he wil giue no light to the moone, and the starres are vncleane in his sight. 6 How much more man, a worme, euen the sonne of man, which is but a worme?
