Job 25
Bildad's Third Response to Job
or
Are we not Worms?
based on Job 25
we mortals are mere worms
Job 25:6
Job 25:6
Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
Dominion and awe rest alone with Shaddai;
establishing order in heaven on high.
Can anyone number his armies in size?
On whom does his glorious light not arise?
Can mortals be righteous before God Supreme?
Can anyone born of a woman be clean?
If, even the moon cannot shine half as bright,
nor stars in the heavens be pure in his sight;
then how much less man, like the maggots that squirm;
the son of a man, who's but merely a worm!
