Job 25
Complete Jewish Bible
25 Bildad the Shuchi said,
2 “Dominion and fear belong to him;
he makes peace in his high places.
3 Can his armies be numbered?
On whom does his light not shine?
4 How then can humans be righteous with God?
How can those born of women be clean?
5 Why, before him even the moon lacks brightness,
and the stars themselves are not pure.
6 How much less a human, who is merely a maggot,
a mortal, who is only a worm?!”
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!”
