Job 25

Bildad the Shuhite asserts that God's power and authority are unmatched, and that humans are insignificant in comparison. He questions the idea that humans can be considered pure or righteous, given their inherent flaws and weaknesses. Bildad notes that even celestial bodies like the moon and stars are not considered pure in God's sight, and that humans are even more impure, being prone to decay and corruption.

1Then Baldad the Suhite answered by saying2Power and terror are with him that makes a pact with those in high places3Is there any limit to the number of his soldiers or to the number of those over whom his light rises4Is it right for man to compare himself to God, or to appear pure though he is born of woman5Behold, even the moon is not radiant, and the stars are not pure, in his sight6Is man much more than rottenness and the son of man much more than worms
