Job 25

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

וַיַּעַן בִּלְדַּד הַשֻּׁחִי וַיֹּאמַֽר׃

2 “Dominion and awe belong to God; He establishes harmony in the heights of heaven.

הַמְשֵׁל וָפַחַד עִמּוֹ עֹשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם בִּמְרוֹמָֽיו׃

3 Can His troops be numbered? On whom does His light not rise?

הֲיֵשׁ מִסְפָּר לִגְדוּדָיו וְעַל־מִי לֹא־יָקוּם אוֹרֵֽהוּ׃

4 How then can a man be just before God? How can one born of woman be pure?

וּמַה־יִּצְדַּק אֱנוֹשׁ עִם־אֵל וּמַה־יִּזְכֶּה יְלוּד אִשָּֽׁה׃

5 If even the moon does not shine, and the stars are not pure in His sight,

הֵן עַד־יָרֵחַ וְלֹא יַאֲהִיל וְכוֹכָבִים לֹא־זַכּוּ בְעֵינָֽיו׃

6 how much less man, who is but a maggot, and the son of man, who is but a worm!”

אַף כִּֽי־אֱנוֹשׁ רִמָּה וּבֶן־אָדָם תּוֹלֵעָֽה׃
