Job 25
New King James Version
Bildad: How Can Man Be Righteous?
25 Then (A)Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
2 “Dominion and fear belong to Him;
He makes peace in His high places.
3 [a]Is there any number to His armies?
Upon whom does (B)His light not rise?
4 (C)How then can man be righteous before God?
Or how can he be (D)pure who is born of a woman?
5 If even the moon does not shine,
And the stars are not pure in His (E)sight,
6 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:
2 “Dominion and fear are with God;[a]
he makes peace in his high heaven.
3 Is there any number to his (B)armies?
Upon whom does his (C)light not arise?
4 How then can man be (D)in the right before God?
How can he who is (E)born of woman be (F)pure?
5 Behold, even the moon is not bright,
and the stars are not pure in his eyes;
6 (G)how much less man, who is (H)a maggot,
and (I)the son of man, who is a worm!”

GOD’S WORD Translation
Bildad Speaks: No One Is Righteous to God
25 Then Bildad from Shuah replied ⌞to Job⌟,
2 “Authority and terror belong to God.
He establishes peace in his high places.
3 Is there any ⌞limit to the⌟ number of his troops?
Is there anyone on whom his light does not rise?
4 How can a person be righteous to God?
How can anyone born of a woman be pure?
5 Even the moon isn’t bright,
and the stars aren’t pure in his sight.
6 How much less pure is a mortal—who is only a maggot—
a descendant of Adam—who is only a worm!”
Job 25

Bildad odgovara Jobu
25 Tada je rekao Bildad iz Šuaha:
2 »Vlast i strah pripadaju Bogu,
on održava mir na svojim visinama.
3 Može li se prebrojati njegova vojska[a]?
Nad kim ne izlazi njegova svjetlost?
4 Kako da čovjek bude pravedan pred Bogom?
Kako da ljudsko biće[b] bude čisto?
5 Ni mjesec nije sjajan, ni zvijezde čiste
u njegovim očima—
6 pa koliko manje vrijedi osoba:
ljudsko biće tek je crv!«
