Job 25
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Bildad declara la inferioridad del hombre
25 Entonces Bildad, el suhita, respondió:
2 «Dominio y pavor pertenecen(A)
Al[a] que establece la paz en Sus alturas(B).
3 -»¿Tienen número Sus ejércitos(C)?
¿Y sobre quién no se levanta Su luz?
4 -»¿Cómo puede un hombre, pues, ser justo con Dios(D)?
¿O cómo puede ser limpio el que nace de mujer(E)?
5 -»Si aun la luna no tiene brillo(F)
Y las estrellas no son puras a Sus ojos(G),
6 ¡Cuánto menos el hombre(H), esa larva,
Y el hijo del hombre, ese gusano(I)!».

Job 25
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 25
Bildad’s Third Speech. 1 [a]Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
2 Dominion and dread are his
who brings about harmony in his heavens.
3 Is there any numbering of his troops?[b]
Yet on which of them does his light not rise?
4 How can anyone be in the right against God,(A)
or how can any born of woman be innocent?
5 Even the moon is not bright
and the stars are not clean in his eyes.
6 How much less a human being, who is but a worm,
a mortal, who is only a maggot?(B)
Footnotes
- 25:1 At this point any structure in the dialogues disappears. Bildad’s speech is very short, and there follow two speeches attributed to Job, with significantly different introductions in 27:1 and 29:1, and with no intervening third speech of Zophar.
- 25:3 His troops: the heavenly host, or army, the stars (cf. Jgs 5:20), later understood as angels.
