Job 25 English Standard Version (ESV)

Bildad Speaks: Man Cannot Be Righteous

25 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:

2 “Dominion and fear are with God;[a]
    he makes peace in his high heaven.
3 Is there any number to his armies?
    Upon whom does his light not arise?
4 How then can man be in the right before God?
    How can he who is born of woman be pure?
5 Behold, even the moon is not bright,
    and the stars are not pure in his eyes;
6 how much less man, who is a maggot,
    and the son of man, who is a worm!”
