Job 25

Bildad Says Mankind Is Inferior

¹Then Bildad the Shuhite responded,

²“Dominion and awe belong to Him[#25:2 Lit are with Him]

Who makes peace in His heights.

³“Is there any number to His troops?

And upon whom does His light not rise?

⁴“How then can mankind be righteous with God?

Or how can anyone who is born of woman be pure?

⁵“If even the moon has no brightness

And the stars are not pure in His sight,

⁶How much less man, that maggot,

And a son of man, that worm!”
