Job 25

Bildad’s Third Speech

¹Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,[#Hebrew “And”; #Hebrew “he said”]

²“Domination and dread are with him

who makes peace in his high heavens.

³Is there a number to his troops?

And upon whom does his light not rise?

⁴“Indeed, how can a human being be righteous before God?[#Hebrew “And”]

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

⁵Look, even the moon is not bright,[#Literally “and it is not bright”]

and the stars are not pure in his sight.

⁶How much less for a human being who is a maggot,[#Literally “Also”]

and a human who is a worm?”
