Job 25
New American Standard Bible 2020
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 responded,
2“Dominion and awe belong to Him Who makes peace in His heights.
3“Is there any number to His troops? And upon whom does His light not rise?
4“How then can mankind be righteous with God? Or how can anyone who is born of woman be pure?
5“If even the moon has no brightness And the stars are not pure in His sight,
6How much less man, that maggot, And a son of man, that worm!”
