< Job 25 >
1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:
Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
2 Dominion and fear are with Him; He maintaineth peace in his high places.
“Dominion and awe belong to God; He establishes harmony in the heights of heaven.
3 Is there any numbering of his hosts? And upon whom doth not his light arise?
Can His troops be numbered? On whom does His light not rise?
4 How then can man be righteous before? Or how can he be pure that is born of woman?
How then can a man be just before God? How can one born of woman be pure?
5 Behold, even the moon, it shineth not; And the stars are not pure in his sight,
If even the moon does not shine, and the stars are not pure in His sight,
6 How much less, man, a worm; And the son of man, a reptile!
how much less man, who is but a maggot, and the son of man, who is but a worm!”
