Job 25
Lexham English Bible
Bildad’s Third Speech
25 Then[a] Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,[b]
2 “Domination and dread are with him
who makes peace in his high heavens.
3 Is there a number to his troops?
And upon whom does his light not rise?
4 “Indeed,[c] how can a human being be righteous before God?
And how will he who is born of a woman be pure?
5 Look, even the moon is not bright,[d]
and the stars are not pure in his sight.
6 How much less[e] for a human being who is a maggot,
and a human[f] who is a worm?”
Job 25
New Living Translation
Bildad’s Third Response to Job
25 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
2 “God is powerful and dreadful.
He enforces peace in the heavens.
3 Who is able to count his heavenly army?
Doesn’t his light shine on all the earth?
4 How can a mortal be innocent before God?
Can anyone born of a woman be pure?
5 God is more glorious than the moon;
he shines brighter than the stars.
6 In comparison, people are maggots;
we mortals are mere worms.”
