Job 25

1Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,

2“Dominion and fear are with him. He makes peace in his high places.

3Can his armies be counted? On whom does his light not arise?

4How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?

5Behold, even the moon has no brightness, and the stars are not pure in his sight;

6How much less man, who is a worm, and the son of man, who is a worm!”
