Chapter 25 :

Bildad Speaks: How Can a Mortal Be Righteous Before God?

Then Bildad the Shuhite answered:

2 “Dominion and fear are with God;
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 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 sight,

6 how much less a mortal, who is a maggot,
and a human being, who is a worm!”
