Job 25

Bildad Speaks

¹Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

²Dominion and dread ^a belong to him,

the one who establishes harmony in his heights.

³Can his troops be numbered?

Does his light not shine on everyone?

⁴How can a human be justified before God? ^b

How can one born of woman be pure? ^c

⁵If even the moon does not shine

and the stars are not pure in his sight, ^d

⁶how much less a human, who is a maggot,

a son of man, ^e who is a worm! ^f
