Job 25
1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, 2Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places. 3Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise? 4How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman? 5Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.
6How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?

1Then Bildad the Shuhite replied: 2“Dominion and awe belong to God; He establishes harmony in the heights of heaven. 3Can His troops be numbered? On whom does His light not rise? 4How then can a man be just before God? How can one born of woman be pure? 5If even the moon does not shine, and the stars are not pure in His sight,
6how much less man, who is but a maggot, and the son of man, who is but a worm!”

1Then Bildad the Shuhite answered, 2“Dominion and fear are with him. He makes peace in his high places. 3Can his armies be counted? On whom does his light not arise? 4How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean? 5Behold, even the moon has no brightness, and the stars are not pure in his sight;
6How much less man, who is a worm, and the son of man, who is a worm!”
