Job 25:5
Compare all
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 25:5

"Look up even unto the moon" (Job 15:15). "Stars" here answer to "saints" (angels) there; "the moon" here to "the heavens" there. Even the "stars," the most dazzling object to man's eye, and the angels, of which the stars are emblems (Job 4:18; Revelation 9:1), are imperfect in His sight. Theirs is the light and purity but of creatures; His of the Creator.
