Job 25

1 Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:

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

Dominion and fear are with Him; He maintaineth peace in his high places.

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

Is there any numbering of his hosts? And upon whom doth not his light arise?

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

How then can man be righteous before? Or how can he be pure that is born of woman?

5 If he gives an order to the moon, then it shines not; and the stars are not pure before him.

Behold, even the moon, it shineth not; And the stars are not pure in his sight,

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

How much less, man, a worm; And the son of man, a reptile!
