Job 25:1-6

Haydock's commentary on this chapter

Baldad represents the justice of God, before whom no man can be justified.

1 Then Baldad the Suhite answered, and I said:
2 

Power and terror are with him, who maketh peace in his high places.

3 

Is there any numbering of his soldiers? and upon whom shall not his light arise?

4 

Can man be justified compared with God, or he that is born of a woman appear clean?

5 

Behold even the moon doth not shine, and the stars are not pure in his sight.

6 

How much less man that is rottenness and the son of man who is a worm?
