Job 25
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
25
Bildad
1-2God is powerful; all must stand in awe of him;
he keeps his heavenly kingdom in peace.
3Can anyone count the angels who serve him?
Is there any place where God's light does not shine?
4Can anyone be righteous or pure in God's sight?
5In his eyes even the moon is not bright,
nor the stars pure.
6Then what about a human being, that worm, that insect?
What is a human life worth in God's eyes?
