Bildad speaking beneath a vast night sky and dimmed moon

Job 25

Berean Standard Bible
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 replied:
2“Dominion and awe belong to God; He establishes harmony in the heights of heaven.
3Can His troops be numbered? On whom does His light not rise?
4How then can a man be just before God? How can one born of woman be pure?
5If even the moon does not shine, and the stars are not pure in His sight,
6how much less man, who is but a maggot, and the son of man, who is but a worm!”
