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,

6 How much less man, who is ^aa maggot,
And a son of man, who is a worm?”

Job 25:2

Dominion and fear are with him - God is an absolute sovereign; his fear is on all the hosts of heaven; and by his sovereignty he establishes and preserves order in the heavens, and among all the inhabitants of the eternal world: how canst thou, therefore, dare to appeal to him, or desire to appear before him?
