Job 25

Bildad Speaks: Man Cannot Be Righteous

25Then ^oBildad the Shuhite answered and said:

²“Dominion and fear are with God;¹

he makes peace in his high heaven.

³Is there any number to his ^parmies?

Upon whom does his ^qlight not arise?

⁴How then can man be ^rin the right before God?

How can he who is ^sborn of woman be ^tpure?

⁵Behold, even the moon is not bright,

and the stars are not pure in his eyes;

^6uhow much less man, who is ^va maggot,

and ^wthe son of man, who is a worm!”
