Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
2 “Dominion and fear are with him; he makes order in his high places of heaven.
“Dominion and awe belong to God; He establishes harmony in the heights of heaven.
3 Is there any end to the number of his armies? Upon whom does his light not shine?

6 How much less man, who is a worm— a son of man, who is a worm!”
how much less man, who is but a maggot, and the son of man, who is but a worm!”
