The Rashi Ketuvim by Rabbi Shraga Silverstein

Then Bildad the Shuchite raised his voice and said [(response to 23:4)]:

הַמְשֵׁ֣ל וָפַ֣חַד עִמּ֑וֹ עֹשֶׂ֥ה שָׁ֝ל֗וֹם בִּמְרוֹמָֽיו׃

The Koren Jerusalem Bible

Dominion and fear are with him, he makes peace in his high places.

The Rashi Ketuvim by Rabbi Shraga Silverstein

Governance and fear is with Him: He makes peace in His heights.

הֲיֵ֣שׁ מִ֭סְפָּר לִגְדוּדָ֑יו וְעַל־מִ֝֗י לֹא־יָק֥וּם אוֹרֵֽהוּ׃

The Koren Jerusalem Bible

Is there any number to his armies? and upon whom does not his light arise?

The Rashi Ketuvim by Rabbi Shraga Silverstein

How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

The Rashi Ketuvim by Rabbi Shraga Silverstein

How, then, can a man be accounted righteous before G d? [(response to 23:10)] And how would one born of woman be accounted meritorious?

הֵ֣ן עַד־יָ֭רֵחַ וְלֹ֣א יַאֲהִ֑יל וְ֝כוֹכָבִ֗ים לֹא־זַכּ֥וּ בְעֵינָֽיו׃

The Koren Jerusalem Bible

Behold even the moon has no brightness; and the stars are not pure in his sight.

The Rashi Ketuvim by Rabbi Shraga Silverstein

He removes [the light of] the moon and it does not shine, and the stars are not righteous in His eyes [(viz. Isaiah 24:23)].

אַ֭ף כִּֽי־אֱנ֣וֹשׁ רִמָּ֑ה וּבֶן־אָ֝דָ֗ם תּוֹלֵעָֽה׃{פ}

The Koren Jerusalem Bible

How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, who is a maggot?

The Rashi Ketuvim by Rabbi Shraga Silverstein

How much more so a mortal, [who is destined for] the worm, and the son of man, [who is destined for] the maggot!
