Tercera intervención de Bildad

25 Entonces intervino Bildad el sujita

y dijo:

—El dominio y el terror son de Dios;
él hace la paz en sus alturas.
¿Tienen número sus tropas?
¿Sobre quién no se levanta su luz?
¿Cómo puede el hombre ser justo ante Dios?
¿Cómo será limpio el que nace de mujer?
Si ni la misma luna le resplandece
ni aun las estrellas son puras ante sus ojos,
¡cuánto menos el hombre,
que es una larva;
el ser humano, que es un gusano!

Bildad

25 Then Bildad the Shuhite(A) replied:

“Dominion and awe belong to God;(B)
    he establishes order in the heights of heaven.(C)
Can his forces be numbered?
    On whom does his light not rise?(D)
How then can a mortal be righteous before God?
    How can one born of woman be pure?(E)
If even the moon(F) is not bright
    and the stars are not pure in his eyes,(G)
how much less a mortal, who is but a maggot—
    a human being,(H) who is only a worm!”(I)

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?”
