Job 25

¹ Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said :

² Dominion and fear are with God; he makes peace in his high heaven .

³ Is there any number to his armies ? Upon whom does his light not arise ?

⁴ How then can man be in the right before God ? How can he who is born of woman be pure ?

⁵ Behold , even the moon is not bright , and the stars are not pure in his eyes ;

⁶ how much less man , who is a maggot , and the son of man , who is a worm !

¹ Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

² “Dominion and awe belong to God; he establishes order in the heights of heaven.

³ Can his forces be numbered? On whom does his light not rise?

⁴ How then can a mortal be righteous before God? How can one born of woman be pure?

⁵ If even the moon is not bright and the stars are not pure in his eyes,

⁶ how much less a mortal, who is but a maggot— a human being, who is only a worm!”

¹ Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

² Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places.

³ Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?

⁴ How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

⁵ Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.

⁶ How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm? Job 24 Books Job 26
