Job 25

1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

2 Dominion and fear are with him; He maketh peace in his high places.

3 Is there any number of his armies? And upon whom doth not his light arise?

4 How then can man be just with God? Or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

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!

JOB 25

Bildad's Third Speech

God Is the One To Fear

1 Bildad from Shuaht said:

2 God is the one to fear,
because God is in control
and rules the heavens.

3 Who can count his army of stars?
Isn't God the source of light?

4 How can anyone be innocent
in the sight of God?

5 To him, not even the light
of the moon and stars
can ever be pure.

6 So how can we humans,
when we are merely worms?
