Job 25

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

Then Bildad the Shuhite spoke up and said,

2 “Dominion and awe belong to God; He establishes harmony in the heights of heaven.

“Dominion and awe belong to God. He brings peace to his heavens.

3 Can His troops be numbered? On whom does His light not rise?

Who can count his armies? Is there anywhere his light doesn't shine?

How can a human being be right before God? Can anyone born of woman be pure?

5 If even the moon does not shine, and the stars are not pure in His sight,

If in God's eyes even the moon does not shine brightly, and the stars are not pure,

6 how much less man, who is but a maggot, and the son of man, who is but a worm!”

how much less a human being—who by comparison is like a maggot or a worm!”
