Job Chapter 25

1 Bildad the Shuhite answered:

            2 “Dominion and awe belong to God,

                  who establishes order high in his sky.

            3 Who can count his troops?

                  Who doesn’t his light rise on?

            4 How can anyone be innocent in his presence?

                  How can anyone born of woman be pure?

            5 If the moon isn’t bright

                        and the stars aren’t pure to God,

                  6 how much less people—like maggots,

                        and their offspring—mere worms.”               

Job 25:1-6
