Job 25 · Grade 5

How Can Man Be Just with God?

Name Date

Read and Think

Bildad's final speech is only six verses long. Dominion and fear are with him. He makes peace in his high places. Can his armies be counted? On whom does his light not arise? Bildad rightly praises God's rule over heaven and earth and the reach of His light.

He then asks, How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean? Even the moon and stars are not pure in God's sight, he says, how much less man, who is a worm. Bildad's question is a real one, and Job himself asked something similar in 9:2.

But Bildad's answer stops short. He sees God's greatness and human weakness, yet offers no hope, no mercy, and no comfort to a suffering friend. The friends' cycle of speeches ends here, with Zophar silent. In the New Testament, 1 Timothy 2:5 speaks of one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, the answer to how man can be just with God.

Think About It

  2. The friends ran out of words. When someone is suffering, why is it sometimes better to listen than to argue?
