< 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 justified with El? 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 to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, 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, which is a worm?
But alas! man is corruption, and the son of man a worm.
