Die dritte Rede des Bildad

25 Da antwortete Bildad, der Schuchiter, und sprach:

Herrschaft und Schrecken sind bei Ihm; Frieden schafft Er in seinen Höhen.

Sind seine Scharen zu zählen? Und über wem erhebt sich nicht sein Licht?

Wie kann aber der Sterbliche gerecht sein vor Gott, und wie will der rein sein, der von der Frau geboren ist?

Siehe, sogar der Mond leuchtet nicht hell, und die Sterne sind nicht rein in seinen Augen

— wie viel weniger der Sterbliche, die Made, und das Menschenkind, der Wurm!

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?”

Bildad Speaks: Man Cannot Be Righteous

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

“Dominion and fear are with God;[a]
    he makes peace in his high heaven.
Is there any number to his (B)armies?
    Upon whom does his (C)light not arise?
How then can man be (D)in the right before God?
    How can he who is (E)born of woman be (F)pure?
Behold, even the moon is not bright,
    and the stars are not pure in his eyes;
(G)how much less man, who is (H)a maggot,
    and (I)the son of man, who is a worm!”
