“Dominion and fear are with him.
    He makes peace in his high places.
Can his armies be counted?
    On whom does his light not arise?
How then can man be just with God?
    Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?
Behold, even the moon has no brightness,
    and the stars are not pure in his sight;
How much less man, who is a worm,
    the son of man, who is a worm!”

Who makes peace in (B)His heights.

How then can mankind be (D)righteous with God?
Or how can anyone who is born of woman be (E)pure?
If even (F)the moon has no brightness
And the (G)stars are not pure in His sight,
How much less (H)man, that (I)maggot,
And a son of man, that worm!”
