Text -- Job 25:5-6 (NET)

25:5 If even the moon is not bright, and the stars are not pure as far as he is concerned, 25:6 how much less a mortal man, who is but a maggot– a son of man, who is only a worm!”

NET Notes: Job 25:5

¹ tn Heb “not pure in his eyes.”

NET Notes: Job 25:6

¹ tn The text just has “maggot” and in the second half “worm.” Something has to be added to make it a bit clearer. The terms “maggot” and “worm” describe man in his lowest and most ignominious shape.
