Job 25
Contemporary English Version
Bildad's Third Speech
God Is the One To Fear
25 Bildad from Shuah[a] said:
2 God is the one to fear,
because God is in control
and rules the heavens.
3 Who can count his army of stars?
Isn't God the source of light?
4 How can anyone be innocent
in the sight of God?
5 To him, not even the light
of the moon and stars
can ever be pure.
6 So how can we humans,
when we are merely worms?

Iyov 25
Orthodox Jewish Bible
25 Then answered Bildad the Shuchi, and said,
2 Dominion and pachad are with Him, oseh shalom bimromav.
3 Is there any number of His armies? And upon whom doth not His ohr arise?
4 Mah yitzdak Enosh im El (how then can man be justified, set right, with G-d?) Or how can he be clean that is born of isha?
5 If even the yarei’ach shineth not, yea, the kokhavim are not pure in His sight,
6 How much less enosh, that is a maggot? And the ben adam, which is a tola’at (worm)?
