Job 25

Bildad Says Man Is Inferior
1Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,
2“Dominion and awe belong to God;
He establishes peace and order in His high places.
3“Is there any number to His [vast celestial] armies?
And upon whom does His light not rise?
4“How then can man be justified and righteous with God?
Or how can he who is born of a woman be pure and clean? [Ps 130:3; 143:2]
5“Behold, even the moon has no brightness [compared to God’s majesty and glory]
And the stars are not pure in His sight,
6How much less man, that maggot,
And the son of man, that worm!”

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.”
