25 And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: --

The rule and fear [are] with Him, Making peace in His high places.

Is their [any] number to His troops? And on whom ariseth not His light?

And what? is man righteous with God? And what? is he pure -- born of a woman?

Lo -- unto the moon, and it shineth not, And stars have not been pure in His eyes.

How much less man -- a grub, And the son of man -- a worm!

25 The further reply of Bildad the Shuhite:

“God is powerful and dreadful. He enforces peace in heaven. Who is able to number his hosts of angels? And his light shines down on all the earth. How can mere man stand before God and claim to be righteous? Who in all the earth can boast that he is clean? God is so glorious that even the moon and stars are less than nothing as compared to him. How much less is man, who is but a worm in his sight?”
