< Job 25 >

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite spoke up and said,
Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
2 “Dominion and awe belong to God. He brings peace to his heavens.
“Dominion and awe belong to God; He establishes harmony in the heights of heaven.
3 Who can count his armies? Is there anywhere his light doesn't shine?
Can His troops be numbered? On whom does His light not rise?
4 How can a human being be right before God? Can anyone born of woman be pure?
How then can a man be just before God? How can one born of woman be pure?
5 If in God's eyes even the moon does not shine brightly, and the stars are not pure,
If even the moon does not shine, and the stars are not pure in His sight,
6 how much less a human being—who by comparison is like a maggot or a worm!”
how much less man, who is but a maggot, and the son of man, who is but a worm!”
