Job 25

Bildad Says Man Is Inferior

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
2 "Dominion and awe belong to Him Who establishes peace in His heights.
3 "Is there any number to His troops? And upon whom does His light not rise?
4 "How then can a man be just with God? Or how can he be clean who is born of woman?
5 "If even the moon has no brightness And the stars are not pure in His sight,
6 How much less man, that maggot, And the son of man, that worm!"
