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!”

5 Behold, even the moon is not bright,

and the stars are not pure in his eyes;

6 how much less man, who is a maggot,

and the son of man, who is a worm!”

5 Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not;

Yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.

6 How much less man, that is a worm?

And the son of man, which is a worm?

5 God is more glorious than the moon;

he shines brighter than the stars.

6 In comparison, people are maggots;

we mortals are mere worms.”

5 If even the moon does not shine,

And the stars are not pure in His sight,

6 How much less man, who is a maggot,

And a son of man, who is a worm?”

5 Even the moon is not bright

and the stars are not pure in his eyes.

6 People are much less! They are like insects.

They are only worms!”

5 Behold, even the moon hath no brightness,

And the stars are not pure in his sight:

6 How much less man, that is a worm!

And the son of man, that is a worm!

5 Lo, even the moon is not bright; and the stars are not pure in his sight: 6 How much less man, a worm, and the son of man, a worm!

5 Even the moon isn’t bright, 

and the stars aren’t pure in his sight. 

6 How much less pure is a mortal—who is only a maggot— 

a descendant of Adam—who is only a worm!” 

5 If even the moon does not shine

and the stars are not pure in His sight,

6 how much less man, who is a maggot,

and the son of man, who is a worm!

5 If even the moon is not bright

and the stars are not pure in his sight,

6 how much less a mortal, who is a maggot,

and a human being, who is a worm!”

5 Look, even the moon is not bright,

and the stars are not pure in his sight.

6 How much less for a human being who is a maggot,

and a human who is a worm?”

5 Even the moon isn’t bright

and the stars aren’t pure in God’s eyes.

6 So how about human beings? They are like maggots.

How about mere people? They are like worms.”
