(KJV) Job 251

<< Job 24 Job 26 >>

⥃Bildad: Man Cannot Be Righteous

[1] Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, [2] Dominion2 and fear [are] with him, he maketh3 peace in his high places. [3] Is there4 any number of his armies? and upon whom5 doth not his light arise? [4] How then6 can man be justified with God? or how can7 he be clean [that is] born of a woman? [5] Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.8 [6] How much less9 man, [that is] a worm? and the son of man, [which is] a worm?
