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 Denies That Man Can Be Justified with God
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?
