Job 25
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
Bildad Speaks: How Can a Mortal Be Righteous Before God?
25 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered:
2 “Dominion and fear are with God;[a]
he makes peace in his high heaven.
3 Is there any number to his armies?
Upon whom does his light not arise?
4 How then can a mortal be righteous before God?
How can one born of woman be pure?
5 If even the moon is not bright
and the stars are not pure in his sight,
6 how much less a mortal, who is a maggot,
and a human being, who is a worm!”

Job 25
Authorized (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?
