Job 25

Bildad’s Third Response to Job

1Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

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