Job 25

1 respondens autem Baldad Suites dixit

Then Bildad [also] replied,

2 potestas et terror apud eum est qui facit concordiam in sublimibus suis

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

3 numquid est numerus militum eius et super quem non surget lumen illius

(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 numquid iustificari potest homo conparatus Deo aut apparere mundus natus de muliere

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 ecce etiam luna non splendet et stellae non sunt mundae in conspectu eius

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

6 quanto magis homo putredo et filius hominis vermis

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.”
