Job 25

1 Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,

Then Baldad the Suhite answered, and I said:

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

Power and terror are with him, who maketh peace in his high places.

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

Is there any numbering of his soldiers? and upon whom shall not his light arise?

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

Can man be justified compared with God, or he that is born of a woman appear clean?

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

Behold even the moon doth not shine, and the stars are not pure in his sight.

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

How much less man that is rottenness and the son of man who is a worm?
