Job 25

Bildad Says Man Is Inferior

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,

2 "Dominion and awe belong to Him
Who establishes peace in His heights.

3 "Is there any number to His troops?
And upon whom does His light not rise?

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

5 "If even the moon has no brightness
And the stars are not pure in His sight,

6 How much less man, that maggot,
And the son of man, that worm!"

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!
