Tap a verse to highlight it

1 Then Baldad the Suhite answered, and said:

2 Power and terror are with him, who maketh peace in his high places.

3 Is there any numbering of his soldiers? and upon whom shall not his light arise?

4 Can man be justified compared with God, or he that is born of a woman appear clean?

5 Behold even the moon doth not shine, and the stars are not pure in his sight.

6 How much more is man than rottenness and the son of man than a worm?

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Bildad's final, short speech about in Job 25?
In his brief third and last speech, Bildad simply asserts God's dominion and majesty, asking how any human born of woman could possibly be pure or justified before him (v.2-4).
What does Job 25:6 mean calling man a worm?
Bildad closes by calling man 'a worm' and 'the son of man...a worm' (v.6), pressing his point that even the moon and stars aren't pure in God's sight — a line similar to Eliphaz's earlier argument at Job 15:14-16.
Why is Job 25 one of the shortest chapters in Job?
It's Bildad's last recorded speech in the debate, only six verses restating a familiar point about God's greatness and human unworthiness rather than adding new argument (v.1-6).
