² “Dominion and awe belong to God;
    he establishes order in the heights of heaven.
³ Can his forces be numbered?
    On whom does his light not rise?
⁴ How then can a mortal 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 a mortal, who is but a maggot—
    a human being, who is only a worm!”
