Job 25

1 Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,

Then responded Bildad the Shuhite, and said: —

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

Dominion and dread, are with him, who causeth prosperity among his lofty ones;

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 number to his troops? And upon whom ariseth not his light?

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

How then shall, a mortal, be just with GOD? Or how shall he be pure who is 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.

Look as far as the moon, and it is not clear, and, the stars, are not bright in his eyes!

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

How much less a mortal who is a creeping thing? Or a son of the earth-born who is a worm?
