Job 25
Bildad asserts God's power and authority, stating that He establishes order in heaven and that His light shines on all. He questions how a man can be righteous before God, given that even the moon and stars are not pure in His eyes. Bildad views humanity as insignificant and impure, comparing people to maggots and worms. He implies that humans are inherently unclean and cannot be righteous before God.
1Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:2"Dominion and awe belong to God; he establishes order in the heights of heaven.3Can his forces be numbered? Upon whom does his light not rise?4How then can a man be righteous before God? How can one born of woman be pure?5If even the moon is not bright and the stars are not pure in his eyes,6how much less man, who is but a maggot- a son of man, who is only a worm!"
