Job 25
JPS TaNaKH 1917
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 answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:
2Dominion and fear are with Him; He maketh peace in His high places.
3Is there any number of His armies? And upon whom doth not His light arise?
4How then can man be just with God? Or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
5Behold, even the moon hath no brightness, and the stars are not pure in His sight;
6How much less man, that is a worm! and the son of man, that is a maggot!
