< Job 25 >

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite made answer and said,
Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,
2 Rule and power are his; he makes peace in his high places.
What beginning or fear is his—even he that makes all things in the highest?
3 Is it possible for his armies to be numbered? and on whom is not his light shining?
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 is it possible for man to be upright before God? or how may he be clean who is a son of woman?
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 is not bright, and the stars are not clean 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 who is an insect, and the son of man who is a worm!
But alas! man is corruption, and the son of man a worm.

< Job 25 >
