25 The further reply of Bildad the Shuhite:

“God is powerful and dreadful. He enforces peace in heaven. Who is able to number his hosts of angels? And his light shines down on all the earth. How can mere man stand before God and claim to be righteous? Who in all the earth can boast that he is clean? God is so glorious that even the moon and stars are less than nothing as compared to him. How much less is man, who is but a worm in his sight?”

25 书亚比勒达回答说:
“ 神有统治之权,威严可畏;
他在高处施行和平。
他的军队岂能数算?
他的光向谁不会升起呢[a]
这样,在 神面前人怎能称义?
妇人所生的怎能洁净?
看哪,在 神眼前,月亮无光,
星宿也不皎洁,
更何况是如虫的人,
如蛆的世人呢!”
