Job 25
Bible in Basic English
Chapter overview
Bildad gives a short final speech on God's dominion and the numberless armies of heaven, before whom peace is established in the heights. If even the moon and the stars are not pure in God's sight, he asks, how can a human being, a worm born of woman, be righteous?

1Then Bildad the Shuhite made answer and said,
2Rule and power are his; he makes peace in his high places.
3Is it possible for his armies to be numbered? and on whom is not his light shining?
4How then is it possible for man to be upright before God? or how may he be clean who is a son of woman?
5See, even the moon is not bright, and the stars are not clean in his eyes:
6How much less man who is an insect, and the son of man who is a worm!
