25 Bildad the Shuchi said,

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

25 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places.

Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?

How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.

How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?
