Job 25
Amplified Bible
Bildad Says Man Is Inferior
25 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,
2
“Dominion and awe belong to God;
He establishes peace and order in His high places.
3
“Is there any number to His [vast celestial] armies?
And upon whom does His light not rise?
4
“How then can man be justified and righteous with God?
Or how can he who is born of a woman be pure and clean?(A)
5
“Behold, even the moon has no brightness [compared to God’s majesty and glory]
And the stars are not pure in His sight,
6
How much less man, that maggot,
And the son of man, that worm!”
Job 25
New International Version
Bildad
25 Then Bildad the Shuhite(A) replied:
2 “Dominion and awe belong to God;(B)
he establishes order in the heights of heaven.(C)
3 Can his forces be numbered?
On whom does his light not rise?(D)
4 How then can a mortal be righteous before God?
How can one born of woman be pure?(E)
5 If even the moon(F) is not bright
and the stars are not pure in his eyes,(G)
6 how much less a mortal, who is but a maggot—
a human being,(H) who is only a worm!”(I)
Job 25
King James Version
25 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?
