< Job 25 >

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
Then answered Bildad the Shuchite, and said,
2 “Dominion and awe belong to God; He establishes harmony in the heights of heaven.
Dominion and dread are with him: he maketh peace in high places.
3 Can His troops be numbered? On whom does His light not rise?
Can the number of his hosts be given? and over whom riseth not his light?
4 How then can a man be just before God? How can one born of woman be pure?
How then can man be justified with God? or how can be one that is born of woman?
5 If even the moon does not shine, and the stars are not pure in His sight,
Behold, even as regardeth the moon, that is not bright; yea, the stars are not pure in his eyes.
6 how much less man, who is but a maggot, and the son of man, who is but a worm!”
How much less the mortal, the mere worm? and the son of earth, the mere maggot?
