Job 25
EasyEnglish Bible
Bildad speaks a third time[a]
25 Then Bildad, the man from Shuah, replied. This is what he said:
2 ‘God rules everything
and we should be afraid of his great power.
In heaven above he causes there to be peace.
3 The number of angels in his armies are too many to count.
His light shines over everyone.
4 No human is righteous when he stands in front of God.
He cannot be pure.
5 When God looks at the moon and the stars,
they do not seem to be pure and bright.
6 So when God looks at us humans,
we do not seem important to him.
To him, we are as useless as worms.’
Footnotes
- 25:1 In this chapter, Bildad tells Job that God is great and powerful. So we cannot do anything to help God. This does not answer Job's questions about all his troubles.
Job 25
La Biblia de las Américas
Bildad declara la inferioridad del hombre
25 Entonces respondió Bildad suhita, y dijo:
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
King James Version
25 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2 Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places.
3 Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?
4 How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
5 Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.
6 How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?
Job 25
New King James Version
Bildad: How Can Man Be Righteous?
25 Then (A)Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
2 “Dominion and fear belong to Him;
He makes peace in His high places.
3 [a]Is there any number to His armies?
Upon whom does (B)His light not rise?
4 (C)How then can man be righteous before God?
Or how can he be (D)pure who is born of a woman?
5 If even the moon does not shine,
And the stars are not pure in His (E)sight,
6 How much less man, who is (F)a maggot,
And a son of man, who is a worm?”
