Job

25 Bilʹdad+ the Shuʹhite said in reply:

2 “Rulership and fearsome might are his;

He establishes peace in heaven.*

3 Can his troops be numbered?

Upon whom does his light not rise?

4 So how can mortal man be righteous before God,+

Or how can one born of a woman be innocent?*+

5 Even the moon is not bright

And the stars are not pure in his eyes,

6 How much less so mortal man, who is a maggot,

And a son of man, who is a worm!”
