Job 25:4–6

How then can man be in the right before God?

How can he who is born of woman be pure?

Behold, even the moon is not bright,

and the stars are not pure in his eyes;

how much less man, who is a maggot,

and the son of man, who is a worm!”

How then can a mortal be righteous before God?

How can one born of woman be pure?

If even the moon is not bright

and the stars are not pure in his eyes,

how much less a mortal, who is but a maggot—

a human being, who is only a worm!”

How can a human be justified before God?

How can one born of woman be pure?

If even the moon does not shine

and the stars are not pure in his sight,

how much less a human, who is a maggot,

a son of man, who is a worm!

How can a mortal be innocent before God?

Can anyone born of a woman be pure?

God is more glorious than the moon;

he shines brighter than the stars.

In comparison, people are maggots;

we mortals are mere worms.”

“Indeed, how can a human being be righteous before God?

And how will he who is born of a woman be pure?

Look, even the moon is not bright,

and the stars are not pure in his sight.

How much less for a human being who is a maggot,

and a human who is a worm?”

How then can man be justified with God?

Or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not;

Yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.

How much less man, that is a worm?

And the son of man, which is a worm?
