Bible in Basic English
Is it possible for his armies to be numbered? and on whom is not his light shining?
How then is it possible for man to be upright before God? or how may he be clean who is a son of woman?
See, even the moon is not bright, and the stars are not clean in his eyes:
How much less man who is an insect, and the son of man who is a worm!
— Job 25:3-1964, Bible in Basic English
“Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise? How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman? Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight. How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm? ”
“Is there any number of his armies? And upon whom doth not his light arise? How then can man be just with God? Or how can he be clean that is born of a woman? Behold, even the moon hath no brightness, And the stars are not pure in his sight: How much less man, that is a worm! And the son of man, that is a worm! ”
“Can his armies be counted? On whom does his light not arise? How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean? Behold, even the moon has no brightness, and the stars are not pure in his sight; How much less man, who is a worm, the son of man, who is a worm!"”
“Can his armies be numbered? On whom does his light not rise? How then can a human being be righteous before God? How can one born of a woman be pure? If even the moon is not bright, and the stars are not pure as far as he is concerned, how much less a mortal man, who is but a maggot– a son of man, who is only a worm!””
Then Bildad the Shuhite made answer and said,
Rule and power are his; he makes peace in his high places.
