< Job 25 >
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
Then responded Bildad the Shuhite, and said: —
2 "Dominion and fear are with him. He makes peace in his high places.
Dominion and dread, are with him, who causeth prosperity among his lofty ones;
3 Can his armies be counted? On whom does his light not arise?
Is there any number to his troops? And upon whom ariseth not his light?
4 How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?
How then shall, a mortal, be just with GOD? Or how shall he be pure who is born of a woman?
5 Look, even the moon has no brightness, and the stars are not pure in his sight;
Look as far as the moon, and it is not clear, and, the stars, are not bright in his eyes!
6 How much less man, who is a worm, the son of man, who is a worm."
How much less a mortal who is a creeping thing? Or a son of the earth-born who is a worm?
