Bildad speaking beneath a vast night sky and dimmed moon

Job 25

Geneva Bible 1599
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?

About Job: book summary and outline →

1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and sayd,
2Power and feare is with him, that maketh peace in his hie places.
3Is there any nomber in his armies? and vpon whom shall not his light arise?
4And howe may a man be iustified with God? or how can he be cleane, that is borne of woman?
5Behold, he wil giue no light to the moone, and the starres are vncleane in his sight.
6How much more man, a worme, euen the sonne of man, which is but a worme?
