Job 25
NET 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 answered:
2“Dominion and awesome might belong to God; he establishes peace in his heights.
3Can his armies be numbered? On whom does his light not rise?
4How then can a human being be righteous before God? How can one born of a woman be pure?
5If even the moon is not bright, and the stars are not pure as far as he is concerned,
6how much less a mortal man, who is but a maggot – a son of man, who is only a worm!”
