Job 25
Brenton Septuagint Translation
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 Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,
2What beginning or fear is his—even he that makes all things in the highest?
3For let none think that there is a respite for robbers: and upon whom will there not come a snare from him?
4For how shall a mortal be just before the Lord? or who that is born of a woman shall purify himself?
5If he gives an order to the moon, then it shines not; and the stars are not pure before him.
6But alas! man is corruption, and the son of man a worm.
