Job

Job, a blameless man, suffers catastrophic loss. Friends offer tidy explanations; Job protests; God speaks from the whirlwind. The book refuses easy answers and ends with encounter, restoration, and worship.

Job 25

1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, 2Dominion and fear are with him; he maketh peace in his high places. 3Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise? 4How then can man be just with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman? 5Behold, even the moon hath no brightness, and the stars are not pure in his sight: 6How much less man, that is a worm! and the son of man, which is a worm!
