Job 25

1 Et Bildad, le Shuhite, prit la parole,

Then Bildad [also] replied,

2 « La domination et la crainte sont avec lui. Il fait la paix dans ses hauts lieux.

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

3 Peut-on compter ses armées? Sur qui sa lumière ne se lève-t-elle pas?

(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 Comment donc l'homme peut-il être juste avec Dieu? Ou comment celui qui est né d'une femme peut-il être pur?

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 Voici, même la lune n'a pas d'éclat, et les étoiles ne sont pas pures à ses yeux;

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

6 Combien moins l'homme, qui est un ver, et le fils de l'homme, qui est un ver! »

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.”
