Bildad: How Can Man Be Righteous?

25 Then (A)Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:

“Dominion and fear belong to Him;
He makes peace in His high places.
[a]Is there any number to His armies?
Upon whom does (B)His light not rise?
(C)How then can man be righteous before God?
Or how can he be (D)pure who is born of a woman?
If even the moon does not shine,
And the stars are not pure in His (E)sight,
How much less man, who is (F)a maggot,
And a son of man, who is a worm?”

比勒达言人于神难称义洁

25 书亚比勒达回答说: “神有治理之权,有威严可畏,他在高处施行和平。 他的诸军,岂能数算?他的光亮一发,谁不蒙照呢? 这样,在神面前人怎能称义?妇人所生的怎能洁净? 在神眼前,月亮也无光亮,星宿也不清洁。 何况如虫的人,如蛆的世人呢?”
