< Job 25 >

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
And Bildad the Shuhite answers and says:
2 “Dominion and awe belong to God; He establishes harmony in the heights of heaven.
“The rule and fear [are] with Him, Making peace in His high places.
3 Can His troops be numbered? On whom does His light not rise?
Is their [any] number to His troops? And on whom does His light not arise?
4 How then can a man be just before God? How can one born of woman be pure?
And what? Is man righteous with God? And what? Is he pure—born of a woman?
5 If even the moon does not shine, and the stars are not pure in His sight,
Behold—to the moon, and it does not shine, And stars have not been 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 man—a grub, And the son of man—a worm!”
