< Job 25 >
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,
2 “Dominion and fear are with him. He makes peace in his high places.
What beginning or fear is his—even he that makes all things in the highest?
3 Can his armies be counted? On whom does his light not arise?
For let none think that there is a respite for robbers: and upon whom will there not come a snare from him?
4 How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?
For how shall a mortal be just before the Lord? or who that is born of a woman shall purify himself?
5 Behold, even the moon has no brightness, and the stars are not pure in his sight;
If he gives an order to the moon, then it shines not; and the stars are not pure before him.
6 How much less man, who is a worm, and the son of man, who is a worm!”
But alas! man is corruption, and the son of man a worm.
