Job 25
New American Standard Bible
Bildad Says Mankind Is Inferior
25 Then Bildad the Shuhite responded,
2 “(A)Dominion and awe [a]belong to Him
Who makes peace in (B)His heights.
3 Is there any number to (C)His troops?
And upon whom does His light not rise?
4 How then can mankind be (D)righteous with God?
Or how can anyone who is born of woman be (E)pure?
5 If even (F)the moon has no brightness
And the (G)stars are not pure in His sight,
6 How much less (H)man, that (I)maggot,
And a son of man, that worm!”

Bildad Asks, Can Man Be Right with God?
25 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,
2 “(A)Rule and dread [a]belong to Him
Who makes peace in (B)His heights.
3 Is there any number to (C)His troops?
And upon whom does His light not rise?
4 How then can mortal man be (D)right with God?
Or how can he be (E)pure who is born of woman?
5 Behold even (F)the moon has no brightness,
And the (G)stars are not pure in His sight;
6 How much less (H)mortal man, that (I)maggot,
And the son of man, that worm!”

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?
