< Job 25 >
1 And Bildad the Shuhite answers and says:
Then answered Bildad the Shuchite, and said,
2 “The rule and fear [are] with Him, Making peace in His high places.
Dominion and dread are with him: he maketh peace in high places.
3 Is their [any] number to His troops? And on whom does His light not arise?
Can the number of his hosts be given? and over whom riseth not his light?
4 And what? Is man righteous with God? And what? Is he pure—born of a woman?
How then can man be justified with God? or how can be one that is born of woman?
5 Behold—to the moon, and it does not shine, And stars have not been pure in His eyes.
Behold, even as regardeth the moon, that is not bright; yea, the stars are not pure in his eyes.
6 How much less man—a grub, And the son of man—a worm!”
How much less the mortal, the mere worm? and the son of earth, the mere maggot?
