1Then Bildad from Shuah replied ⌞to Job⌟, 2“Authority and terror belong to God. He establishes peace in his high places. Is there any ⌞limit to the⌟ number of his troops? Is there anyone on whom his light does not rise? 4How can a person be righteous to God? How can anyone born of a woman be pure? 5Even the moon isn’t bright, and the stars aren’t pure in his sight.
