Job Chapter 25
Bildad's shortest and final word to Job: no one is pure before God.
In this short closing speech, Job 24 gives way to Bildad's last argument: if even the moon and stars are not pure in God's sight, no human born of a woman can claim to be clean. Read the full text in the Job overview.
Then responded Bildad the Shuhite, and said:—
Dominion and dread, are with him, who causeth prosperity among his lofty ones;
Is there any number to his troops? And upon whom ariseth not his light?
How then shall, a mortal, be just with GOD? Or how shall he be pure who is born of a woman?
Look as far as the moon, and it is not clear, and, the stars, are not bright in his eyes!
How much less a mortal who is a creeping thing? Or a son of the earth-born who is a worm?
