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

1And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: -- 2The rule and fear are with Him, Making peace in His high places. 3Is their any number to His troops? And on whom ariseth not His light? 4And what? is man righteous with God? And what? is he pure--born of a woman? 5Lo--unto the moon, and it shineth not, And stars have not been pure in His eyes. 6How much less man--a grub, And the son of man--a worm!
