Job 25
The Voice
25 Then Bildad the Shuhite responded.
2 Bildad: God rules over all things;
dread is His domain,
God—who makes peace and order on His own heights.
3 As for His armies, can they even be counted?
As for His light, is anyone not illuminated?
4 Then tell me how can a person be right with God?
How can someone born of a woman in blood be pure?
5 If even the moon is not bright enough
and the light of the stars is not pure in His estimation,
6 How much less so a human,
who is a mere worm—
The offspring of humanity,
who is a maggot!
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.
