Jobin 25

1 Sitten suuhilainen Bildad lausui ja sanoi:

Then Bildad [also] replied,

2 "Valta ja peljättävyys on hänen, joka luo rauhaa korkeuksissaan.

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

3 Onko määrää hänen joukoillansa, ja kenelle ei hänen valonsa koita?

(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]

4 Kuinka siis ihminen olisi vanhurskas Jumalan edessä, ja kuinka vaimosta syntynyt olisi puhdas?

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]

5 Katso, eipä kuukaan ole kirkas, eivät tähdetkään ole puhtaat hänen silmissänsä;

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

6 saati sitten ihminen, tuo mato, ja ihmislapsi, tuo toukka!"

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.”
