Job 25

1 Then responded Bildad the Shuhite, and said: —

Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,

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

"Dominion and fear are with him. He makes peace in his high places.

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

Can his armies be counted? On whom does his light not arise?

4 How then shall, a mortal, be just with GOD? Or how shall he be pure who is born of a woman?

How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?

5 Look as far as the moon, and it is not clear, and, the stars, are not bright in his eyes!

Look, even the moon has no brightness, and the stars are not pure in his sight;

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, who is a worm, the son of man, who is a worm."
