Job 25

Job 25:1

Job 25: Bildad virtually concedes Job's argument: "We do not know what your sin might be, but there obviously is one -- because all men are sinners."

However, this being true -- all men are placed in the same condition before God. Therefore, Job's question still stands: "Why am I singled out for special sufferings?" There is nothing left for his three friends to say.

Job 25:4

HOW CAN ONE BORN OF WOMAN BE PURE?: Even Jesus was not "pure" ("clean": AV): Gal 4:4; Heb 2:9,10; Phi 2:8-11. "Made lower than Elohim" (Psa 8:5).

Job 25:6

MAGGOT: "Worm" in AV. "Rimmah" = maggot of decay: Job 7:5; 17:14; 21:26; 24:20; Exo 16:24.

WORM: "Toleah" -- a scarlet grub associated with sacrifice: Num 19:6n; Psa 22:6n.
