Job 25
1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:
2Dominion and fear are with Him; He maintaineth peace in his high places.
3Is there any numbering of his hosts? And upon whom doth not his light arise?
4How then can man be righteous before? Or how can he be pure that is born of woman?
5Behold, even the moon, it shineth not; And the stars are not pure in his sight,
6How much less, man, a worm; And the son of man, a reptile!
Job 25

3Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?
4How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
5Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.
6How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?
