Job 25

English Standard Version

from Crossway
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said: (Job 2:11)2 “Dominion and fear are with God;[1] he makes peace in his high heaven.3 Is there any number to his armies? Upon whom does his light not arise? (Job 19:12; Ps 103:21; Mt 5:45; Jas 1:17)4 How then can man be in the right before God? How can he who is born of woman be pure? (Job 4:17; Job 9:2; Job 14:1; Job 14:4; Job 15:14; Ps 130:3; Ps 143:2)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!” (Job 9:14; Job 15:16; Job 35:8; Ps 22:6; Isa 41:14)

Job 25

New International Version

from Biblica
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:2 ‘Dominion and awe belong to God; he establishes order in the heights of heaven.3 Can his forces be numbered? On whom does his light not rise?4 How then can a mortal be righteous before God? How can one born of woman be pure?5 If even the moon is not bright and the stars are not pure in his eyes,6 how much less a mortal, who is but a maggot – a human being, who is only a worm!’

Job 25

King James Version

1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,2 Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places.3 Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?4 How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?5 Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.6 How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?

Job 25

New International Reader’s Version

from Biblica
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied,2 ‘God is King. He should be feared. He establishes peace in the highest parts of heaven.3 Can anyone count his troops? Is there anyone his light doesn’t shine on?4 How can human beings be right with God? How can mere people really be pure?5 Even the moon isn’t bright and the stars aren’t pure in God’s eyes.6 So how about human beings? They are like maggots. How about mere people? They are like worms.’
