Job 25

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

Then responded Bildad the Shuhite, and said: —

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

Dominion and dread, are with him, who causeth prosperity among his lofty ones;

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

Is there any number to his troops? And upon whom ariseth not his light?

4 How then can a man be just before God? How can one born of woman be pure?

How then shall, a mortal, be just with GOD? Or how shall he be pure who is born of a woman?

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

Look as far as the moon, and it is not clear, and, the stars, are not bright 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 a mortal who is a creeping thing? Or a son of the earth-born who is a worm?
