Job 25
Living Bible
25 The further reply of Bildad the Shuhite:
2 “God is powerful and dreadful. He enforces peace in heaven. 3 Who is able to number his hosts of angels? And his light shines down on all the earth. 4 How can mere man stand before God and claim to be righteous? Who in all the earth can boast that he is clean? 5 God is so glorious that even the moon and stars are less than nothing as compared to him. 6 How much less is man, who is but a worm in his sight?”
Job 25

Bildad Speaks: Man Cannot Be Righteous
25 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered:
2 “Dominion and fear are with Him;
He makes peace in His high places.
3 Is there any number to His armies?
And upon whom does His light not rise?
4 How then can man be righteous with God?
Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?
5 Behold, even the moon does not shine,
and the stars are not pure in His sight;
6 how much less man, who is a maggot?
And the son of man, who is a worm?”
