Job 25

1 Then Bildad [also] replied,

Därefter tog Bildad från Sua till orda 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.

Hos honom är väldighet och förskräckande makt, hos honom, som skapar frid i sina himlars höjd.

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]

Vem finnes, som förmår räkna hans skaror? Och vem överstrålas ej av 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]

Huru skulle då en människa kunna hava rätt mot Gud eller en av kvinna född kunna befinnas 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.

Se, ej ens månen skiner nog klart, ej ens stjärnorna äro rena i 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 då människan, det krypet, människobarnet, den masken!
