Job 25

Bildad Speaks: No One Is Righteous to God

¹Then Bildad from Shuah replied ⌞to Job⌟ ,

²“Authority and terror belong to God.

He establishes peace in his high places.

³Is there any ⌞limit to the⌟ number of his troops?

Is there anyone on whom his light does not rise?

⁴How can a person be righteous to God?

How can anyone born of a woman be pure?

⁵Even the moon isn’t bright,

and the stars aren’t pure in his sight.

⁶How much less pure is a mortal—who is only a maggot—

a descendant of Adam—who is only a worm!”
