Bildad Speaks: How Can a Mortal Be Righteous before God?
25 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered:
2 “Dominion and fear are with God;[a]
he makes peace in his high heaven.(A)
3 Is there any number to his armies?
Upon whom does his light not arise?(B)
4 How then can a mortal be righteous before God?
How can one born of woman be pure?(C)
5 If even the moon is not bright
and the stars are not pure in his sight,(D)
6 how much less a mortal, who is a maggot,
and a human being, who is a worm!”(E)

Bildads reactie
25 Bildad uit Suach antwoordde Job:
2 ‘God is machtig en ontzagwekkend. Hij handhaaft de vrede in de hemel.
3 Wie kan zijn legers tellen? Er is geen plek waar zijn licht niet schijnt.
4 Hoe kan een gewone sterveling voor God gaan staan en beweren dat hij rechtvaardig is? Wie op aarde kan in ernst zeggen dat hij rein is?
5 De heerlijkheid van God is zo groot dat zelfs de maan en de sterren vergeleken bij Hem in het niet vallen.
6 Hoeveel minder is dan de mens! Die is immers slechts een worm in zijn ogen!’

Bildad
25 Then Bildad the Shuhite(A) replied:
2 “Dominion and awe belong to God;(B)
he establishes order in the heights of heaven.(C)
3 Can his forces be numbered?
On whom does his light not rise?(D)
4 How then can a mortal be righteous before God?
How can one born of woman be pure?(E)
5 If even the moon(F) is not bright
and the stars are not pure in his eyes,(G)
6 how much less a mortal, who is but a maggot—
a human being,(H) who is only a worm!”(I)
