25 Så tog Sjuhiten Bildad til Orde og sagde: "Hos ham er der Vælde og Rædsel, han skaber Fred i sin høje Bolig. Er der mon Tal på hans Skarer? Mod hvem står ikke hans Baghold op? Hvor kan en Mand have Ret imod Gud, hvor kan en kvindefødt være ren? Selv Månen er ikke klar i hans Øjne og Stjernerne ikke rene endsige en Mand, det Kryb, et Menneskebarn, den Orm!

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?”

A terceira resposta de Bildade a Jó

25 Então Bildade, de Suá, respondeu:

“Deus é poderoso e temível;
ele impõe a paz nos céus.
Quem pode contar seu exército celestial?
Acaso sua luz não brilha sobre toda a terra?
Pode algum mortal ser inocente perante Deus?
Pode alguém nascido de mulher ser puro?
Deus é mais glorioso que a lua;
brilha mais que as estrelas.
Comparados a ele, somos larvas;
nós, mortais, não passamos de vermes”.

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)
