Job Chapter 25

From The Open Bible Project

25:1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,

25:2 "Dominion and fear are with him. He makes peace in his high places.

• (a) His purpose is to prove that although God may try and afflict the just, yet soon after he sends prosperity, and because he did not do so to Job he concludes that he is wicked.

25:3 Can his armies be counted? On whom does his light not arise?

• (b) Who can hide him from his presence?

25:4 How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?

• (c) That is, be just in respect to God?

25:5 Behold, even the moon has no brightness, and the stars are not pure in his sight;

• (d) If God shows his power, the moon and stars cannot have the light which is given to them, much less can man have any excellency but from God.

25:6 How much less man, who is a worm, the son of man, who is a worm!"
