Jób 25

1 Tedy odpovídaje Bildad Suchský, řekl:

Then Bildad [also] replied,

2 Panování a hrůza Boží působí pokoj na výsostech jeho.

“God is very powerful; everyone should have an awesome respect for him; he causes everything to be peaceful high up in heaven.

3 Zdaliž jest počet vojskům jeho? A nad kým nevzchází světlo jeho?

(Can anyone count the angels who are in his army [in heaven]?/No one can count the angels who are in his army [in heaven].) [RHQ] (Is there any place where his light does not shine?/There is no place where his light does not shine.) [RHQ]

4 Jakž by tedy spravedliv býti mohl bídný člověk před Bohem silným, aneb jak čist býti narozený z ženy?

So, (how can God consider anyone to be righteous?/God certainly cannot consider anyone to be righteous.) [RHQ] (How can any human being be truly pure?/No human being can be truly pure.) [RHQ]

5 Hle, ani měsíc nesvítil by, ani hvězdy nebyly by čisté před očima jeho,

Consider this: God does not even consider the full moon to be bright, and he does not consider the stars to be spotless.

6 Nadto pak smrtelný člověk, jsa jako červ, a syn člověka, jako hmyz.

So, (what about humans?/he does not consider humans [to be important].) [RHQ] They are [as insignificant as] [MET] maggots. [God does not think more highly of] people [than he thinks of] worms.”
