Job 25
Legacy Standard Bible

Bildad Asks, Can Man Be Right with God?

25 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,

2 “(A)Rule and dread [a]belong to Him
Who makes peace in (B)His heights.
3 Is there any number to (C)His troops?
And upon whom does His light not rise?
4 How then can mortal man be (D)right with God?
Or how can he be (E)pure who is born of woman?
5 Behold even (F)the moon has no brightness,
And the (G)stars are not pure in His sight;
6 How much less (H)mortal man, that (I)maggot,
And the son of man, that worm!”

Bildad Speaks

25 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

2 Dominion and dread(A) belong to him,
the one who establishes harmony in his heights.
3 Can his troops be numbered?
Does his light not shine on everyone?
4 How can a human be justified before God?(B)
How can one born of woman be pure?(C)
5 If even the moon does not shine
and the stars are not pure in his sight,(D)
6 how much less a human, who is a maggot,
a son of man,[a] who is a worm!(E)

2 “Dominion and awe belong to God;(B)
    he establishes order in the heights of heaven.(C)
3 Can his forces be numbered?
    On whom does his light not rise?(D)
4 How then can a mortal be righteous before God?
    How can one born of woman be pure?(E)
5 If even the moon(F) is not bright
    and the stars are not pure in his eyes,(G)
6 how much less a mortal, who is but a maggot—
    a human being,(H) who is only a worm!”(I)

Job 25
King James Version

25 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

2 Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places.

3 Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?

4 How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

5 Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.

6 How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

25 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,

2 Dominion and fear are with [God]; He makes peace in His high places.

3 Is there any number to His armies? And upon whom does not His light arise?

4 How then can man be justified and righteous before God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be pure and clean?(A)

5 Behold, even the moon has no brightness [compared to God’s glory] and the stars are not pure in His sight—

6 How much less man, who is a maggot! And a son of man, who is a worm!
