< Job 25 >
1 Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, 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 armies? 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?
How then can man be just with God? Or how can 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.
Behold, even the moon hath no brightness, 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, that is a worm! and the son of man, that is a maggot!
