Job 25

1 Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,

Then answered Bildad the Shuchite, and said,

2 What beginning or fear is his—even he that makes all things in the highest?

Dominion and dread are with him: he maketh peace in 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?

Can the number of his hosts be given? and over whom riseth not his light?

4 For how shall a mortal be just before the Lord? or who that is born of a woman shall purify himself?

How then can man be justified with God? or how can be one that is born of woman?

5 If he gives an order to the moon, then it shines not; and the stars are not pure before him.

Behold, even as regardeth the moon, that is not bright; yea, the stars are not pure in his eyes.

6 But alas! man is corruption, and the son of man a worm.

How much less the mortal, the mere worm? and the son of earth, the mere maggot?
