Job 25

1 Then Bildad [also] replied,

Respondens autem Baldad Suhites, dixit:

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

[Potestas et terror apud eum est, qui facit concordiam in sublimibus suis.

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]

Numquid est numerus militum ejus? et super quem non surget lumen illius?

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]

Numquid justificari potest homo comparatus Deo? aut apparere mundus natus de muliere?

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

Ecce luna etiam non splendet, et stellæ non sunt mundæ in conspectu ejus:

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.”

quanto magis homo putredo, et filius hominis vermis?]
