< Job 25 >

1 Then Baldad the Suhite answered by saying:
וַיַּעַן בִּלְדַּד הַשֻּׁחִי וַיֹּאמַֽר׃
2 Power and terror are with him that makes a pact with those in high places.
הַמְשֵׁל וָפַחַד עִמּוֹ עֹשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם בִּמְרוֹמָֽיו׃
3 Is there any limit to the number of his soldiers or to the number of those over whom his light rises?
הֲיֵשׁ מִסְפָּר לִגְדוּדָיו וְעַל־מִי לֹא־יָקוּם אוֹרֵֽהוּ׃
4 Is it right for man to compare himself to God, or to appear pure though he is born of woman?
וּמַה־יִּצְדַּק אֱנוֹשׁ עִם־אֵל וּמַה־יִּזְכֶּה יְלוּד אִשָּֽׁה׃
5 Behold, even the moon is not radiant, and the stars are not pure, in his sight.
הֵן עַד־יָרֵחַ וְלֹא יַאֲהִיל וְכוֹכָבִים לֹא־זַכּוּ בְעֵינָֽיו׃
6 Is man much more than rottenness and the son of man much more than worms?
אַף כִּֽי־אֱנוֹשׁ רִמָּה וּבֶן־אָדָם תּוֹלֵעָֽה׃
