Bildad asserts that God's power and authority are beyond human comprehension, and that even the celestial bodies are not pure in His sight. He questions how a human, born of a woman and inherently impure, can be justified before God. Bildad views humans as insignificant and unclean, comparing them to worms. He emphasizes the vast difference between God's perfection and humanity's imperfection.
1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,2Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places.3Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?4How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?5Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.6How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?
