    What happens here

    Atlas's own reading, written from this chapter and nothing else, and published only once a person has approved it. Each scene names the verses it covers; the names inside it link to the people and places they name.

    Bildad ends his climb through heaven by calling a human being a maggot and the son of man a worm.

    From the heights to the dustvv. 1–6

    Bildad the Shuhite replies by placing dominion and awe with God, who establishes harmony in the heights of heaven. He asks whether God's troops can be numbered and whether any place escapes His light, then turns the questions upon human purity. The moon and stars are brought into the comparison, and the argument finishes with an impressively small creature: man is “but a maggot,” and the son of man “but a worm.”

    Berean Standard Bible, public domain. Names the Hebrew and Greek put in the verse link to the person, place or people they name; the address beside each verse is a link to that verse, which is what a reader copies and shares.

    1. Job 25:1Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

    2. Job 25:2“Dominion and awe belong to God; He establishes harmony in the heights of heaven.

    3. Job 25:3Can His troops be numbered? On whom does His light not rise?

    4. Job 25:4How then can a man be just before God? How can one born of woman be pure?

    5. Job 25:5If even the moon does not shine, and the stars are not pure in His sight,

    6. Job 25:6how much less man, who is but a maggot, and the son of man, who is but a worm!”

    Who else the chapter reaches

    Names written in the English are linked in the text above. These are the ones that are not: an entity the Hebrew or Greek names under a spelling the translation does not use, or one reached only by an assertion about a verse of this chapter.

    Reached by an assertion Atlas extracted from a verse of this chapter rather than by a name written in it — a pronoun, a title, or a participant the sentence carries without naming. This layer is model-read and measured at 88.6–90.3% precision, and it is kept separate from the names above for that reason.
