Job 25 — The Holy Bible

Bildad Asks How Man Can Be Righteous

Job 25, verse 1. Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:

“What beginning or fear is His—

He who makes all things in the highest heaven?

For may no one imagine there is a respite for pirates.

Upon whom will there not be an ambush from Him?

How shall a mortal be righteous before the Lord?

Or how may he who is born of a woman purify himself?

If He orders the moon, then it does not shine,

And the stars are not pure in His sight.

But alas! Man is putrid, and the son of man a worm.”
