Job, 25

1 And Bilʹdad the Shuʹhite proceeded to answer and say:

2 “Rulership and dreadfulness are with him; He is making peace on his heights.

3 Is there any number to his troops? And upon whom does his light not rise?

4 So how can mortal man*1 be in the right before God,*2 Or how can one born of a woman be clean?

  1. “Mortal man.” Heb., ʼenohshʹ.

  2. “God.” Heb., ʼEl.

5 Look! There is even the moon, and it is not bright; And the stars themselves have not proved clean in his eyes.

6 How much less so mortal man, who is a maggot, And a son of man,*1 who is a worm!”

  1. Or, “earthling man.” Heb., ʼa·dhamʹ.
