Job 25

1 Then Bildad [also] replied,

І заговорив шух'янин Білда́д та й сказав:

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

„Панува́ння та о́страх — у Нього, Який на висо́тах Своїх чинить мир.

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]

Чи ві́йську Його є число? І над ким Його світло не схо́дить?

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]

І як може люди́на бути праведною перед Богом, і як може бути чистим, від жінки наро́джений?

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

Таж Йому навіть місяць не світить, і в очах Його й зо́рі не ясні!

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.”

Що ж тоді люди́на ота́, — червя́к, чи син лю́дський — хроба́к?“
