< Job 25 >

1 Then Baldad the Suhite answered by saying:
וַ֭יַּעַן בִּלְדַּ֥ד הַשֻּׁחִ֗י וַיֹּאמַֽר׃
2 Power and terror are with him that makes a pact with those in high places.
הַמְשֵׁ֣ל וָפַ֣חַד עִמֹּ֑ו עֹשֶׂ֥ה שָׁ֝לֹ֗ום בִּמְרֹומָֽיו׃
3 Is there any limit to the number of his soldiers or to the number of those over whom his light rises?
הֲיֵ֣שׁ מִ֭סְפָּר לִגְדוּדָ֑יו וְעַל־מִ֝֗י לֹא־יָק֥וּם אֹורֵֽהוּ׃
4 Is it right for man to compare himself to God, or to appear pure though he is born of woman?
וּמַה־יִּצְדַּ֣ק אֱנֹ֣ושׁ עִם־אֵ֑ל וּמַה־יִּ֝זְכֶּ֗ה יְל֣וּד אִשָּֽׁה׃
5 Behold, even the moon is not radiant, and the stars are not pure, in his sight.
הֵ֣ן עַד־יָ֭רֵחַ וְלֹ֣א יַאֲהִ֑יל וְ֝כֹוכָבִ֗ים לֹא־זַכּ֥וּ בְעֵינָֽיו׃
6 Is man much more than rottenness and the son of man much more than worms?
אַ֭ף כִּֽי־אֱנֹ֣ושׁ רִמָּ֑ה וּבֶן־אָ֝דָ֗ם תֹּולֵעָֽה׃ פ
