Job 25

Bildad’s Third Response to Job

1. Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

2. “God is powerful and dreadful. 2 He enforces peace in the heavens.

3. Who is able to count his heavenly army? 3 Doesn’t his light shine on all the earth?

4. How can a mortal be innocent before God? 4 Can anyone born of a woman be pure?

5. God is more glorious than the moon; 5 he shines brighter than the stars.

6. In comparison, people are maggots; 6 we mortals are mere worms.”
