Job 25

Bildad Speaks
1Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
2Dominion and dread#2Ch 20:29; Jb 13:11; Ps 36:1 belong to him,
the one who establishes harmony in his heights.
3Can his troops be numbered?
Does his light not shine on everyone?
4How can a human be justified before God?#Jb 9:2; Ps 143:2; Rm 3:20
How can one born of woman be pure?#Jb 4:17; 15:14; Pr 20:9
5If even the moon does not shine
and the stars are not pure in his sight,#Jb 4:18; 15:15; 21:22
6how much less a human, who is a maggot,
a son of man,#25:6 Or a mere mortal who is a worm!#Ps 8:4; 22:6; Is 41:14

Job 25

Bildad’s Third Attack
Even the Stars Aren’t Perfect in God’s Eyes
1-6Bildad the Shuhite again attacked Job:
“God is sovereign, God is fearsome—
everything in the cosmos fits and works in his plan.
Can anyone count his angel armies?
Is there any place where his light doesn’t shine?
How can a mere mortal presume to stand up to God?
How can an ordinary person pretend to be guiltless?
Why, even the moon has its flaws,
even the stars aren’t perfect in God’s eyes,
So how much less, plain men and women—
slugs and maggots by comparison!”
