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
