Job 25

1 Then Bildad [also] replied,

Då svarade Bildad af Suah, och sade:

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

Är icke herrskap och fruktan när honom, hvilken frid gör ibland sina högsta?

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]

Ho kan räkna hans krigsmän? Och öfver hvem uppgår icke hans ljus?

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]

Och huru kan en menniska rättfärdig varda för Gudi? Eller huru kan ene qvinnos barn rent vara?

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

Si månen skin icke ännu, och stjernorna äro ännu icke rena för hans ögon;

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.”

Huru mycket mindre en menniska, den malen, och ens menniskos barn, den matken?
