< Job 25 >

1 And Bildad the Shuhite answers and says:
فَقَالَ بِلْدَدُ الشُّوحِيُّ:١
2 “The rule and fear [are] with Him, Making peace in His high places.
«لِلهِ السُّلْطَانُ وَالْهَيْبَةُ، يَصْنَعُ السَّلامَ فِي أَعَالِيهِ.٢
3 Is their [any] number to His troops? And on whom does His light not arise?
هَلْ مِنْ إِحْصَاءٍ لأَجْنَادِهِ، وَعَلَى مَنْ لَا يُشْرِقُ نُورُهُ؟٣
4 And what? Is man righteous with God? And what? Is he pure—born of a woman?
فَكَيْفَ يَتَبَرَّرُ الإِنْسَانُ عِنْدَ اللهِ، وَكَيْفَ يَزْكُو مَوْلُودُ الْمَرْأَةِ؟٤
5 Behold—to the moon, and it does not shine, And stars have not been pure in His eyes.
فَإِنْ كَانَ الْقَمَرُ لَا يُضِيءُ، وَالْكَوَاكِبُ غَيْرَ نَقِيَّةٍ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ،٥
6 How much less man—a grub, And the son of man—a worm!”
فَكَمْ بِالْحَرِيِّ الإِنْسَانُ الرِّمَّةُ وَابْنُ آدَمَ الدُّودُ؟»٦
