Job 25
Legacy Standard Bible
Bildad Asks, Can Man Be Right with God?
25 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,
2 “(A)Rule and dread [a]belong to Him
Who makes peace in (B)His heights.
3 Is there any number to (C)His troops?
And upon whom does His light not rise?
4 How then can mortal man be (D)right with God?
Or how can he be (E)pure who is born of woman?
5 Behold even (F)the moon has no brightness,
And the (G)stars are not pure in His sight;
6 How much less (H)mortal man, that (I)maggot,
And the son of man, that worm!”

Bildad Speaks
25 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
2 Dominion and dread(A) belong to him,
the one who establishes harmony in his heights.
3 Can his troops be numbered?
Does his light not shine on everyone?
4 How can a human be justified before God?(B)
How can one born of woman be pure?(C)
5 If even the moon does not shine
and the stars are not pure in his sight,(D)
6 how much less a human, who is a maggot,
a son of man,[a] who is a worm!(E)

Troisième discours de Bildad
L’homme pourrait-il être pur ?
25 Et Bildad de Shouah prit la parole et dit :
2 Il détient un pouvoir ╵souverain, effrayant.
Il fait régner la paix ╵dans les lieux élevés.
3 Peut-on compter ses troupes[a],
et sur qui sa lumière ╵ne se lève-t-elle pas ?
4 Comment un homme ╵pourrrait-il être justifié ╵par-devers Dieu ?
Et comment l’être ╵né d’une femme ╵pourrait-il être pur ?
5 Si, devant lui, la lune même ╵est sans éclat,
si les étoiles ╵ne sont pas pures à ses yeux,
6 que dire alors de l’homme ╵qui n’est qu’un vermisseau,
de l’être humain ╵qui n’est qu’un ver ?

King James Version
25 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2 Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places.
3 Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?
4 How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
5 Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.
6 How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?
