Opening the chapter…
Then Bildad also replied,
“God is very powerful; everyone should have an awesome respect for him; he causes everything to be peaceful high up in heaven.
◄Can anyone count the angels who are in his army in heaven?/No one can count the angels who are in his army in heaven.► [RHQ] ◄Is there any place where his light does not shine?/There is no place where his light does not shine.► [RHQ]
So, ◄how can God consider anyone to be righteous?/God certainly cannot consider anyone to be righteous.► [RHQ] ◄How can any human being be truly pure?/No human being can be truly pure.► [RHQ]
Consider this: God does not even consider the full moon to be bright, and he does not consider the stars to be spotless.
So, ◄what about humans?/he does not consider humans to be important.► [RHQ] They are as insignificant as [MET] maggots. God does not think more highly of people than he thinks of worms.”
