Job 25

1 Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,

Then Bildad the Shuhite spoke up and said,

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

“Dominion and awe belong to God. He brings peace to his heavens.

3 For let none think that there is a respite for robbers: and upon whom will there not come a snare from him?

Who can count his armies? Is there anywhere his light doesn't shine?

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

How can a human being be right before God? Can anyone born of woman be pure?

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

If in God's eyes even the moon does not shine brightly, and the stars are not pure,

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

how much less a human being—who by comparison is like a maggot or a worm!”
