Job Chapter 25 {Chapters 22-31: The Third Debate} {Chapters 25-31: Third Debate with Bildad  (Bildad has the Self-Righteousness of Eliphaz and some of the   Zophar Syndrome)} {Verses 1-4: Bildad's Message on the Sovereignty of God and the Total Depravity of Man} 1-2~~Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, 2~~ "Dominion and respect belong to Him {God}. He establishes order 'in the Heights of heaven'/'in His High Places'. 3~~Can His force be numbered? No. Upon whom does His Light rise?   {no one - His light comes down on everyone} 4~~How then can a man be righteous before God/'El? How can one . . . born of woman . . . be pure? 5-6~~If even the moon is not bright and even the stars are not pure in His eyes, 6~~ how much less man (?) . . . who is but a maggot; a son of man . . . who is only a worm?" {Note: This is a correct dissertation on the Sovereignty of God verses the total depravity of man. But he is judging that they apply to Job here, but sin is not the reason for Job's suffering - good doctrine, bad application.}
