Job 25 GNV

Summary: Bildad offers a brief third and final speech, much shorter than his earlier ones, simply extolling God's dominion and majesty in the heavens, which maintain order and peace among the heavenly hosts. He asks rhetorically how any human being can be righteous or pure before God, noting that even the moon and stars are not pure in God's sight, so how much less a mortal, who he describes dismissively as a maggot or worm. The brevity of the speech, and the fact Zophar offers no matching third speech at all, signals that the friends' arguments are running out.

1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and sayd,

2Power and feare is with him, that maketh peace in his hie places.

3Is there any nomber in his armies? and vpon whom shall not his light arise?

4And howe may a man be iustified with God? or how can he be cleane, that is borne of woman?

5Behold, he wil giue no light to the moone, and the starres are vncleane in his sight.

6How much more man, a worme, euen the sonne of man, which is but a worme?
