Job 25

1 Then Bildad [also] replied,

Or, répondant, Baldad, le Subite, 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 puissance et la terreur sont en celui qui établit la concorde dans ses lieux élevés.

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]

Est-ce qu’on peut compter le nombre de ses soldats? et sur qui sa lumière ne se lèvera-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]

Est-ce qu’un homme peut être justifié, étant comparé à Dieu, ou celui qui est né d’une femme paraître pur?

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

Voilà que la lune même ne brille point et que les étoiles ne sont pas pures en sa présence;

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 plus est impur un homme qui est pourriture, un fils de l’homme qui est un ver!
