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!”

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!”
