Job 25

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite spoke up and said,

Then Baldad the Suhite answered by saying:

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

Power and terror are with him that makes a pact with those in high places.

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

Is there any limit to the number of his soldiers or to the number of those over whom his light rises?

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

Is it right for man to compare himself to God, or to appear pure though he is born of woman?

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

Behold, even the moon is not radiant, 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!”

Is man much more than rottenness and the son of man much more than worms?
