Job 25

Then Bildad the Shuhite spoke up and said,

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

“Dominion and awe belong to God. He brings peace to his heavens.

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

If in God's eyes even the moon does not shine brightly, and the stars are not pure,

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 a human being—who by comparison is like a maggot or a worm!”
