Job · Chapter 25
Bildad shows that man cannot be before God.

We need to be born again of water and of the , and to be bathed again and again in the blood of Christ, that Fountain opened, Zec 13:1. We should be humbled as mean, guilty, polluted creatures, and renounce self-dependence. But our vileness will commend Christ's condescension and love; the riches of his mercy and the power of his will be magnified to all eternity by every sinner he redeems.
