I learned something today in Sunday School:
We now know that the stars are merely giant balls of gas. But in ancient times, they were thought to be living beings.
The ancient Hebrew writers (of what we now call "the Old Testament") thought of the stars this way.
Hence, Job 25:5 declares that "even...the stars are not pure in [God's] eyes."
To suggest that the stars are immoral would be quite strange, if the writer did not consider them to be living beings.
