< Job 24 Job 26 >

Job 25

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite responded,

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

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

4 How then can mankind be righteous with God? Or how can anyone who is born of woman be pure?

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 a 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.
