Job 25:2
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
“Dominion and awe belong to God; He establishes harmony in the heights of heaven.
3 Can His troops be numbered? On whom does His light not rise?
4 How then can a man be just before God? How can one born of woman be pure?
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
