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