Job 25:6 - Exposition

How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm? (comp. Psalms 22:6 ). How much less can man be pure in God's sight? An undoubted truth, or rather, perhaps, a truism, but not to the point, for Job has never really maintained that he is without sin (see Job 7:20 , Job 7:21 ; Job 9:2 , Job 9:20 , etc.). He has only maintained that his sins have not been of such a character as to account for his sufferings.
