Job 25

1 Then Bildad [also] replied,

Så tog Sjuhiten Bildad til Orde 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 der Vælde og Rædsel, han skaber Fred i sin høje Bolig.

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]

Er der mon Tal på hans Skarer? Mod hvem står ikke hans Baghold op?

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]

Hvor kan en Mand have Ret imod Gud, hvor kan en kvindefødt 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.

Selv Månen er ikke klar i hans Øjne og Stjernerne ikke rene

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.”

endsige en Mand, det Kryb, et Menneskebarn, den Orm!
