Job 25

1 Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,

And Bildad the Shuhite answers and says:

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

“The rule and fear [are] with Him, Making 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 their [any] number to His troops? And on whom does His light not arise?

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

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

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

Behold—to the moon, and it does not shine, And stars have not been pure in His eyes.

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

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