< Job 25 >

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite spoke up and said,
Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
2 “Dominion and awe belong to God. He brings peace to his heavens.
“Dominion and fear are with him. He makes peace in his high places.
3 Who can count his armies? Is there anywhere his light doesn't shine?
Can his armies be counted? On whom does his light not arise?
4 How can a human being be right before God? Can anyone born of woman be pure?
How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?
5 If in God's eyes even the moon does not shine brightly, and the stars are not pure,
Behold, even the moon has no brightness, 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 a worm, and the son of man, who is a worm!”
