< Job 25 >

1 Then responded Bildad the Shuhite, and said: —
וַיַּעַן בִּלְדַּד הַשֻּׁחִי וַיֹּאמַֽר׃
2 Dominion and dread, are with him, who causeth prosperity among his lofty ones;
הַמְשֵׁל וָפַחַד עִמּוֹ עֹשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם בִּמְרוֹמָֽיו׃
3 Is there any number to his troops? And upon whom ariseth not his light?
הֲיֵשׁ מִסְפָּר לִגְדוּדָיו וְעַל־מִי לֹא־יָקוּם אוֹרֵֽהוּ׃
4 How then shall, a mortal, be just with GOD? Or how shall he be pure who is born of a woman?
וּמַה־יִּצְדַּק אֱנוֹשׁ עִם־אֵל וּמַה־יִּזְכֶּה יְלוּד אִשָּֽׁה׃
5 Look as far as the moon, and it is not clear, and, the stars, are not bright in his eyes!
הֵן עַד־יָרֵחַ וְלֹא יַאֲהִיל וְכוֹכָבִים לֹא־זַכּוּ בְעֵינָֽיו׃
6 How much less a mortal who is a creeping thing? Or a son of the earth-born who is a worm?
אַף כִּֽי־אֱנוֹשׁ רִמָּה וּבֶן־אָדָם תּוֹלֵעָֽה׃
