Bildad's Third Response to Job
Chapter 25
-
Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
-
"God is powerful and dreadful.
He enforces peace in the heavens.
- Who is able to count his heavenly army?
Doesn't his light shine on all the earth?
- How can a mortal be innocent before God?
Can anyone born of a woman be pure?
- God is more glorious than the moon;
he shines brighter than the stars.
- In comparison, people are maggots;
we mortals are mere worms."
