< Job 25 >

1 Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,
And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,
2 What beginning or fear is his—even he that makes all things in the highest?
Dominion and fear are with him; he maketh peace in his high places.
3 For let none think that there is a respite for robbers: and upon whom will there not come a snare from him?
Is there any number of his troops? and upon whom doth not his light arise?
4 For how shall a mortal be just before the Lord? or who that is born of a woman shall purify himself?
And how should man be just with God? Or how should he be clean that is born of a woman?
5 If he gives an order to the moon, then it shines not; and the stars are not pure before him.
Lo, even the moon is not bright; and the stars are not pure in his sight:
6 But alas! man is corruption, and the son of man a worm.
How much less man, a worm, and the son of man, a worm!
