Job 25

1 And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,

Then Bildad [also] replied,

2 Dominion and fear are with him; he maketh peace in his high places.

“God is very powerful; everyone should have an awesome respect for him; he causes everything to be peaceful high up in heaven.

3 Is there any number of his troops? and upon whom doth not his light arise?

(Can anyone count the angels who are in his army [in heaven]?/No one can count the angels who are in his army [in heaven].) [RHQ] (Is there any place where his light does not shine?/There is no place where his light does not shine.) [RHQ]

4 And how should man be just with God? Or how should he be clean that is born of a woman?

So, (how can God consider anyone to be righteous?/God certainly cannot consider anyone to be righteous.) [RHQ] (How can any human being be truly pure?/No human being can be truly pure.) [RHQ]

5 Lo, even the moon is not bright; and the stars are not pure in his sight:

Consider this: God does not even consider the full moon to be bright, and he does not consider the stars to be spotless.

6 How much less man, a worm, and the son of man, a worm!

So, (what about humans?/he does not consider humans [to be important].) [RHQ] They are [as insignificant as] [MET] maggots. [God does not think more highly of] people [than he thinks of] worms.”
