25 Bildad proveth that no man is clean nor without sin before God.
1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2 [a]Power and fear is with him, that maketh peace in his places.
3 Is there any number in his armies? [b]and upon whom shall not his light arise?
4 And how may a man [c]be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of woman?
5 Behold, he will give no light to the Moon, [d]and the Stars are unclean in his sight.
6 How much more man, a worm, even the son of man, which is but a worm?
