25 Da tok Bildad fra Suah til orde og sa:

Hos ham er herskermakt og redsel; han skaper fred i sine høie himler.

Er det tall på hans skarer? Og hvem overstråles ikke av hans lys?

Hvorledes skulde da et menneske være rettferdig for Gud eller en som er født av en kvinne, være ren?

Selv månen skinner ikke klart, og stjernene er ikke rene i hans øine,

hvor meget mindre da mennesket, den makk, menneskebarnet, det kryp som det er.

25 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places.

Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?

How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.

How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?

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?”
