Job 25

1 Mgbe ahụ, Bildad onye Shua zara sị:

Then Bildad [also] replied,

2 “Ike ọchịchị na oke egwu bụ nke Chineke; Ọ bụ ya na-eme ka udo dịrị nʼeluigwe.

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

3 Onye pụrụ ịgụta usuu ndị agha ya ọnụ? Onye kwa ka ìhè ya na-adịghị enwukwasị?

(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 Mmadụ ọ ga-esi aṅaa bụrụ onye ezi omume nʼihu Chineke? Mmadụ nwanyị mụrụ ọ ga-esi aṅaa dị ọcha?

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 Lee, ọ bụladị ọnwa adịghị achawapụta, ọzọ kpakpando adịghị ọcha nʼanya ya,

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

6 ka ọfọdụzie nwa mmadụ efu mụrụ, nke bụ naanị ikpuru, mmadụ, nke bụ naanị idide.”

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.”
