Job 25

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

Power and terror are with him, who maketh peace in his high places.

3 Is there any number to his troops? And upon whom ariseth not his light?

Is there any numbering of his soldiers? and upon whom shall not his light arise?

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

How much less man that is rottenness and the son of man who is a worm?
