Job 25
Common English Bible
Inferior humans
25 Bildad from Shuah replied:
2 Supreme power and awe belong to God;
he establishes peace on his heights.
3 Can his troops be counted?
On whom does his light not rise?
4 How can a person be innocent before God;
one born of a woman be pure?
5 If even the moon is not bright
and the stars not pure in his eyes,
6 how much less a human, a worm,
a person’s child, a grub.
Job 25
GOD’S WORD Translation
Bildad Speaks: No One Is Righteous to God
25 Then Bildad from Shuah replied ⌞to Job⌟,
2 “Authority and terror belong to God.
He establishes peace in his high places.
3 Is there any ⌞limit to the⌟ number of his troops?
Is there anyone on whom his light does not rise?
4 How can a person be righteous to God?
How can anyone born of a woman be pure?
5 Even the moon isn’t bright,
and the stars aren’t pure in his sight.
6 How much less pure is a mortal—who is only a maggot—
a descendant of Adam—who is only a worm!”
