Eyüp 25

Genel Bakış

Bildad delivers a brief final speech affirming God's absolute majesty and humanity's utter unworthiness. He asks how a mortal can be righteous or pure before God when even the stars and moon are not pure in God's sight. This speech is the shortest in the dialogue cycle and marks the friends' argument as exhausted.
