Job 25

1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:

Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,

2 Dominion and fear are with Him; He maketh peace in His high places.

What beginning or fear is his—even he that makes all things in the highest?

3 Is there any number of His armies? And upon whom doth not His light arise?

For let none think that there is a respite for robbers: and upon whom will there not come a snare from him?

4 How then can man be just with God? Or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

For how shall a mortal be just before the Lord? or who that is born of a woman shall purify himself?

5 Behold, even the moon hath no brightness, and the stars are not pure in His sight;

If he gives an order to the moon, then it shines not; and the stars are not pure before him.

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

But alas! man is corruption, and the son of man a worm.
