1Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said: (Job 2:11)2“Dominion and fear are with God;[1] he makes peace in his high heaven.3Is 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)4How 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)5Behold, even the moon is not bright, and the stars are not pure in his eyes;6how 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)
1Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:2‘Dominion and awe belong to God; he establishes order in the heights of heaven.3Can his forces be numbered? On whom does his light not rise?4How then can a mortal be righteous before God? How can one born of woman be pure?5If even the moon is not bright and the stars are not pure in his eyes,6how much less a mortal, who is but a maggot – a human being, who is only a worm!’
Job 25
King James Version
1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,2Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places.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?
1Then Bildad the Shuhite replied,2‘God is King. He should be feared. He establishes peace in the highest parts of heaven.3Can anyone count his troops? Is there anyone his light doesn’t shine on?4How can human beings be right with God? How can mere people really be pure?5Even the moon isn’t bright and the stars aren’t pure in God’s eyes.6So how about human beings? They are like maggots. How about mere people? They are like worms.’
