< Job 25 >
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite made answer and said,
Then responded Bildad the Shuhite, and said: —
2 Rule and power are his; he makes peace in his high places.
Dominion and dread, are with him, who causeth prosperity among his lofty ones;
3 Is it possible for his armies to be numbered? and on whom is not his light shining?
Is there any number to his troops? And upon whom ariseth not his light?
4 How then is it possible for man to be upright before God? or how may he be clean who is a son of woman?
How then shall, a mortal, be just with GOD? Or how shall he be pure who is born of a woman?
5 See, even the moon is not bright, and the stars are not clean in his eyes:
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 an insect, and the son of man who is a worm!
How much less a mortal who is a creeping thing? Or a son of the earth-born who is a worm?
