Bildad Speaks: No One Is Righteous to God

25 Then Bildad from Shuah replied to Job,

“Authority and terror belong to God.
    He establishes peace in his high places.
Is there any limit to the number of his troops?
    Is there anyone on whom his light does not rise?
How can a person be righteous to El?
    How can anyone born of a woman be pure?
        Even the moon isn’t bright,
            and the stars aren’t pure in his sight.
How much less pure is a mortal—who is only a maggot—
    a descendant of Adam—who is only a worm!”

比勒达的回答

25 书亚人比勒达回答说:
“上帝掌管一切,威严可畏,
祂在高天之上缔造和平。
谁能计算祂天军的数目?
谁不被祂的光辉照耀?
世人怎能在上帝面前算为义人?
妇人所生的怎能纯洁?
在祂眼中,月亮算不上明亮,
星辰也算不上皎洁,
更何况是像蛆一样的人,
像虫一样的世人呢?”
