About this chapterBildad's final speech is very short. He speaks of God's dominion and awesome power, who establishes peace in the heights, and asks how any human can be righteous before God or how someone born of woman can be pure. Even the moon and stars are not pure in his sight, so how much less a human, who is like a maggot or worm. The statement about God's greatness is true, but Bildad has run out of arguments and simply repeats his point. The brief chapter shows friends who have nothing new to say.

Job 25

1Then Bildad the Shuhite replied: 2“Dominion and awe belong to God; He establishes harmony in the heights of heaven. 3Can His troops be numbered? On whom does His light not rise? 4How then can a man be just before God? How can one born of woman be pure? 5If even the moon does not shine, and the stars are not pure in His sight, 6how much less man, who is but a maggot, and the son of man, who is but a worm!”
