25 Bilʹdad+ the Shuʹhite said in reply:
2 “Rulership and fearsome might are his;
He establishes peace in heaven.
3 Can his troops be numbered?
Upon whom does his light not rise?
4 So how can mortal man be righteous before God,+
Or how can one born of a woman be innocent?+
5 Even the moon is not bright
And the stars are not pure in his eyes,
6 How much less so mortal man, who is a maggot,
And a son of man, who is a worm!”
