< Job 25 >

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,
Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,
2 “Dominion and fear are with him; he makes order in his high places of heaven.
What beginning or fear is his—even he that makes all things in the highest?
3 Is there any end to the number of his armies? Upon whom does his light not shine?
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 righteous with God? How can he who is born of a woman be clean, acceptable to him?
For how shall a mortal be just before the Lord? or who that is born of a woman shall purify himself?
5 See, even the moon has no brightness to him; 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— a son of man, who is a worm!”
But alas! man is corruption, and the son of man a worm.
