How can a mortal be righteous before God?

¹Then Bildad the Shuhite answered: ²Rule and dread belong to God; \q he makes peace in his high places. ³Can his armies be counted? \q On whom does his light not rise? ⁴How then can a mortal be righteous before God? \q How can one born of a woman be pure? ⁵Look, even the moon is not bright, \q and the stars are not pure in his sight; ⁶How much less a mortal, who is a maggot, \q a human being, who is a worm!
