Job 25

Bildad Says Man Is Inferior

1Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,

2“Dominion and awe belong to God; He establishes peace and order in His high places.

3Is there any number to His [vast celestial] armies? And upon whom does His light not rise?

4How then can man be justified and righteous with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be pure and clean?

5Behold, even the moon has no brightness [compared to God’s majesty and glory] And the stars are not pure in His sight,

6How much less man, that maggot, And the son of man, that worm!”
