Job 25

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: —

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 ariseth not His light?

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,

Lo — unto the moon, and it shineth not, 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!
