Job 25
1599 Geneva Bible
25 Bildad proveth that no man is clean nor without sin before God.
1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2 [a]Power and fear is with him, that maketh peace in his places.
3 Is there any number in his armies? [b]and upon whom shall not his light arise?
4 And how may a man [c]be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of woman?
5 Behold, he will give no light to the Moon, [d]and the Stars are unclean in his sight.
6 How much more man, a worm, even the son of man, which is but a worm?

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)
