Job 25

Easy-to-Read Version

² “God is the ruler.
    He makes people fear and respect him.
    He keeps peace in his kingdom above.
³ No one can count his stars.^[a]
    His sun rises on all people.
⁴ How can anyone claim to be right before God?
    No human being^[b] can really be pure.
⁵ In God’s eyes even the moon is not pure and bright;
    even the stars are not pure.
⁶ People are much less pure.
    They are like maggots, as worthless as worms!”
