Job 25

1 Then Bildad [also] replied,

Et Bildad, le Shukhite, répondit et dit:

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

La domination et la terreur sont avec lui; il fait la paix dans ses hauts lieux.

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]

Peut-on dénombrer ses troupes? et sur qui sa lumière ne se lève-t-elle pas?

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]

Et comment l’homme sera-t-il juste devant Dieu, et comment serait pur celui qui est né de femme?

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

Voici, la lune même ne brille pas, et les étoiles ne sont pas pures à ses yeux:

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.”

Combien moins l’homme, un ver, et le fils de l’homme, un vermisseau!
