比勒达的回答

25 书亚人比勒达回答说:
“上帝掌管一切,威严可畏,
祂在高天之上缔造和平。
谁能计算祂天军的数目?
谁不被祂的光辉照耀?
世人怎能在上帝面前算为义人?
妇人所生的怎能纯洁?
在祂眼中,月亮算不上明亮,
星辰也算不上皎洁,
更何况是像蛆一样的人,
像虫一样的世人呢?”

Bildad: How Can Man Be Righteous?

25 Then (A)Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:

“Dominion and fear belong to Him;
He makes peace in His high places.
[a]Is there any number to His armies?
Upon whom does (B)His light not rise?
(C)How then can man be righteous before God?
Or how can he be (D)pure who is born of a woman?
If even the moon does not shine,
And the stars are not pure in His (E)sight,
How much less man, who is (F)a maggot,
And a son of man, who is a worm?”
