Job 25 KJV: Bildad’s Short Speech: The Purity of God

Job 25 articulates Bildad’s final, very brief attempt to answer Job, where he simply repeats the idea that no human can be righteous before an infinite God. He compares man to a 'worm,' arguing that if even the stars aren't pure in God's sight, Job has no right to claim integrity.

  1. v1-3: The Dominion and Fear of God
  2. v4-6: The Uncleanliness of Man compared to the Moon and Stars

Job chapter 25

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places.
Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?
How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.
How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?
