2 Dominion and dread, are with him, who causeth prosperity among his lofty ones;

Rule and power are his; he makes peace in his high places.

How then is it possible for man to be upright before God? or how may he be clean who is a son of woman?

5 Look as far as the moon, and it is not clear, and, the stars, are not bright in his eyes!

6 How much less a mortal who is a creeping thing? Or a son of the earth-born who is a worm?

How much less man who is an insect, and the son of man who is a worm!
