Job 25

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite spoke up and said,

And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: —

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

The rule and fear [are] with Him, Making peace in His high places.

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

Is their [any] number to His troops? And on whom ariseth not His light?

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

And what? is man righteous with God? And what? is he pure — born of a woman?

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

Lo — unto the moon, and it shineth not, And stars have not been pure in His eyes.

6 how much less a human being—who by comparison is like a maggot or a worm!”

How much less man — a grub, And the son of man — a worm!
