Job 25
Legacy Standard Bible
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!”

Bildad’s Third Response to Job
25 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
2 “God is powerful and dreadful.
He enforces peace in the heavens.
3 Who is able to count his heavenly army?
Doesn’t his light shine on all the earth?
4 How can a mortal be innocent before God?
Can anyone born of a woman be pure?
5 God is more glorious than the moon;
he shines brighter than the stars.
6 In comparison, people are maggots;
we mortals are mere worms.”
