Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2 “Dominion and awe belong to God. He brings peace to his heavens.
Dominion and fear are with him; he maketh peace in his high places.

6 how much less a human being—who by comparison is like a maggot or a worm!”
How much less man, that is a worm! and the son of man, which is a worm!
