< Job 24 Job 26 >

Job 25

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,

2 "Dominion and awe belong to Him Who establishes peace in His heights.

3 "Is there any number to His troops? And upon whom does His light not rise?

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

5 "If even the moon has no brightness And the stars are not pure in His sight,

6 How much less man, that maggot, And the son of man, that worm!"

Chapter Summary

In a brief final speech, Bildad declares that no one born of woman can be righteous before the majestic God.

Book Summary

Job wrestles with the suffering of a righteous man who loses everything yet refuses to curse God. Through dialogues with his friends and God's answer from the whirlwind, the book probes faith, justice, and the limits of human understanding.
