Job 25:2

Bildad: How Can Man Be Righteous?

1 Then ^aBildad the Shuhite answered and said:

2 “Dominion and fear belong to Him;
He makes peace in His high places.

3 ¹Is there any number to His armies?
Upon whom does ^aHis light not rise?

4 ^aHow then can man be righteous before God?
Or how can he be ^bpure who is born of a woman?

5 If even the moon does not shine,
And the stars are not pure in His ^asight,

What Does Job 25:2 Mean?

Job 25:2-4

All of us sin, so who can escape the condemnation of Him who sees all and knows all? There is no vindication, no exoneration, before God. If He so desired, He could name all of our sins, and if He determined to execute justice, no one could call Him into account. If we are not impressed with God's gift of grace after considering that, then there is something wrong with us.

Justification is the declaration of righteousness. God simply declares us innocent and righteous. He does this legally on the basis of Christ's priceless sacrifice.
