Chapter 25

Bildad speaks to Job a third time

¹Then Bildad, the man from Shuah, replied. This is what he said:

²‘God rules everything

and we should be afraid of his great power.

In heaven above he causes there to be peace .

³The number of angels in his armies are too many to count.

His light shines over everyone.

⁴No human is righteous when he stands in front of God.

He cannot be pure .

⁵When God looks at the moon and the stars,

they do not seem to be pure and bright.

⁶So when God looks at us humans,

we do not seem important to him.

To him, we are as useless as worms .’
