- 2"Dominion and awe belong to God; he establishes order in the heights of heaven.
- 3Can his forces be numbered? Upon whom does his light not rise?
- 4How then can a man be righteous before God? How can one born of woman be pure?
- 5If even the moon is not bright and the stars are not pure in his eyes,
- 6how much less man, who is but a maggot- a son of man, who is only a worm!"
