Job 25

Bildad

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

2 "Dominion and awe belong to God;
he establishes order in the heights of heaven.

3 Can his forces be numbered?
On whom does his light not rise?

4 How then can a mortal be righteous before God?
How can one born of woman be pure?

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!"

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!
