Bildad's third answer

Then Bildad the Shuhite answered: "Dominion and fear are with him; he makes peace in his high places. Is there any number to his armies? Upon whom does his light not rise? How then can man be justified with God? How can one born of a woman be clean? Even the moon does not shine brightly enough, and the stars are not pure in his eyes. How much less man, who is a worm, and the son of man, who is a worm."

Then Bildad the Shuhite answered: Ruling and fear are with him. He makes peace in his high places. Is there any number to his armies? And who doesn't his light rise on? How then can a man be right in front of God? Or how can the one born of a woman be clean? Look — even the moon isn't bright, and the stars aren't pure in his sight. How much less man, who's a maggot, and a son of man, who's a worm.

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places. Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise? How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman? Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight. How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?
