< Job 25 >

1 Then Bildad [also] replied,
Da tok Bildad fra Suah til orde og sa:
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 herskermakt og redsel; han skaper fred i sine høie himler.
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 det tall på hans skarer? Og hvem overstråles ikke av 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 skulde da et menneske være rettferdig for Gud eller en som er født av en kvinne, 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 skinner ikke klart, og stjernene er ikke rene i hans øine,
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 da mennesket, den makk, menneskebarnet, det kryp som det er.
