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 Says Mankind Is Inferior
25 Then Bildad the Shuhite responded,
2 “(A)Dominion and awe [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 mankind be (D)righteous with God?
Or how can anyone who is born of woman be (E)pure?
5 If even (F)the moon has no brightness
And the (G)stars are not pure in His sight,
6 How much less (H)man, that (I)maggot,
And a son of man, that worm!”

Bildad talar för tredje gången
25 Bildad från Shuach svarade:
2 Makten och fruktan tillhör Gud.
Han skapar frid i höjden.
3 Vem kan räkna hans skaror?
Över vem går inte hans ljus upp?
4 Hur kan en människa vara rättfärdig inför Gud,
en av kvinna född vara ren?
5 Inte ens månen är klar i hans ögon,
ej heller är stjärnorna i sin glans rena för honom,
6 hur mycket mindre då en människa,
som bara är ett kryp, en mask!
