Job
Chapter 25

1

Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:

2

Dominion and awesomeness are his who brings about harmony in his heavens.

3

¹ Is there any numbering of his troops? Yet to which of them does not his light extend?

4

How can a man be just in God's sight, or how can any woman's child be innocent?

5

Behold, even the moon is not bright and the stars are not clear in his sight.

6

How much less man, who is but a maggot, the son of man, who is only a worm?
