Job 25

1 Then Bildad [also] replied,

Then Baldad the Suhite answered, and I said:

2 “God is very powerful; everyone should have an awesome respect for him; he causes everything to be peaceful high up in heaven.

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

3 (Can anyone count the angels who are in his army [in heaven]?/No one can count the angels who are in his army [in heaven].) [RHQ] (Is there any place where his light does not shine?/There is no place where his light does not shine.) [RHQ]

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

4 So, (how can God consider anyone to be righteous?/God certainly cannot consider anyone to be righteous.) [RHQ] (How can any human being be truly pure?/No human being can be truly pure.) [RHQ]

Can man be justified compared with God, or he that is born of a woman appear clean?

5 Consider this: God does not even consider the full moon to be bright, and he does not consider the stars to be spotless.

Behold even the moon doth not shine, and the stars are not pure in his sight.

6 So, (what about humans?/he does not consider humans [to be important].) [RHQ] They are [as insignificant as] [MET] maggots. [God does not think more highly of] people [than he thinks of] worms.”

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