Job 25
Douay-Rheims 1899
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 Suhite answered, and I said:
2Power and terror are with him, who maketh peace in his high places.
3Is there any numbering of his soldiers? and upon whom shall not his light arise?
4Can man be justified compared with God, or he that is born of a woman appear clean?
5Behold even the moon doth not shine, and the stars are not pure in his sight.
6How much less man that is rottenness and the son of man who is a worm?
