Job 25

Bildad Speaks: How Can a Mortal Be Righteous before God?

²⁵Then Bildad the Shuhite answered:

²“Dominion and fear are with God;^d

he makes peace in his high heaven.^*

³Is there any number to his armies?

Upon whom does his light not arise?^*

⁴How then can a mortal be righteous before God?

How can one born of woman be pure?^*

⁵If even the moon is not bright

and the stars are not pure in his sight,^*

⁶how much less a mortal, who is a maggot,

and a human being, who is a worm!”^*
