Job 25

Bildad’s Third Speech

1 Then ^{▼▼Hebrew “And”} Bildad the Shuhite answered and ⌞said⌟, ^{▼▼Hebrew “he said”}

2 “Domination and dread are with him
who makes peace in his high heavens.
3 Is there a number to his troops?
And upon whom does his light not rise?
4 “Indeed, ^{▼▼Hebrew “And”} how can a human being be righteous before God?
And how will he who is born of a woman be pure?
5 Look, even the moon ⌞is not bright⌟, ^{▼▼Literally “and it is not bright”}
and the stars are not pure in his sight.
6 ⌞How much less⌟ ^{▼▼Literally “Also”} for a human being who is a maggot,
and ⌞a human⌟ ^{▼▼Literally “a son of man,” or “a son of Adam”} who is a worm?”
