Job 25

New International Reader's Version

² “God is King. He should be feared.
    He establishes peace in the highest parts of heaven.
³ Can anyone count his troops?
    Is there anyone his light doesn’t shine on?
⁴ How can human beings be right with God?
    How can mere people really be pure?
⁵ Even the moon isn’t bright
    and the stars aren’t pure in God’s eyes.
⁶ So how about human beings? They are like maggots.
    How about mere people? They are like worms.”
