Job 25: Apples and Oranges

Bildad replies to Job in chapter 25.  His brief point is that Job is severely misguided in applying human standards of morality to God.  God is way up there, and we are way down here.  There is no comparison between divine and human righteousness.  "It's apples and oranges, Job!"  (Actually, Bildad uses the more disquieting imagery of us as maggots and worms.)  Still, the point is that Job is barking up the wrong tree with his quest to argue his righteousness before God.  Such an endeavor is doomed to be...fruitless!  (Pun intended!)
