Job 25

1 Then Bildad [also] replied,

Men Bildad, Sukiten, svarede og sagde:

2 “God is very powerful; everyone should have an awesome respect for him; he causes everything to be peaceful high up in heaven.

Hos ham er Herskermagt og Rædsel; han skaber Fred i sine høje Boliger.

3 (Can anyone count the angels who are in his army [in heaven]?/No one can count the angels who are in his army [in heaven].) [RHQ] (Is there any place where his light does not shine?/There is no place where his light does not shine.) [RHQ]

Mon der være Tal paa hans Tropper? og over hvem opgaar ikke hans Lys?

4 So, (how can God consider anyone to be righteous?/God certainly cannot consider anyone to be righteous.) [RHQ] (How can any human being be truly pure?/No human being can be truly pure.) [RHQ]

Hvorledes kan da et Menneske være retfærdigt for Gud? og hvorledes kan den, som er født af en Kvinde, være ren?

5 Consider this: God does not even consider the full moon to be bright, and he does not consider the stars to be spotless.

Se, selv Maanen skinner ikke klar, og Stjernerne ere ikke rene for hans Øjne.

6 So, (what about humans?/he does not consider humans [to be important].) [RHQ] They are [as insignificant as] [MET] maggots. [God does not think more highly of] people [than he thinks of] worms.”

Hvor meget mindre Mennesket, den Orm, og Menneskets Barn, den Maddike.
