Job 25

Bildad’s Third Response to Job

¹Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

²“God is powerful and dreadful.

He enforces peace in the heavens.

³Who is able to count his heavenly army?

Doesn’t his light shine on all the earth?

⁴How can a mortal be innocent before God?

Can anyone born of a woman be pure?

⁵God is more glorious than the moon;

he shines brighter than the stars.

⁶In comparison, people are maggots;

we mortals are mere worms.”
