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.”
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?”
