Job 25

1 And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: —

Then Bildad the Shuhite spoke up and said,

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

“Dominion and awe belong to God. He brings peace to his heavens.

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

Who can count his armies? Is there anywhere his light doesn't shine?

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

How can a human being be right before God? Can anyone born of woman be pure?

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

If in God's eyes even the moon does not shine brightly, and the stars are not pure,

6 How much less man — a grub, And the son of man — a worm!

how much less a human being—who by comparison is like a maggot or a worm!”
