Job 25

1 And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: —

Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,

2 The rule and fear [are] with Him, Making peace in His high places.

What beginning or fear is his—even he that makes all things in the highest?

3 Is their [any] number to His troops? And on whom ariseth not His light?

For let none think that there is a respite for robbers: and upon whom will there not come a snare from him?

4 And what? is man righteous with God? And what? is he pure — born of a woman?

For how shall a mortal be just before the Lord? or who that is born of a woman shall purify himself?

5 Lo — unto the moon, and it shineth not, And stars have not been pure in His eyes.

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 — a grub, And the son of man — a worm!

But alas! man is corruption, and the son of man a worm.
