UJobe 25

1 Kwathi-ke uBhilidadi umShuhi waphendula wathi:

Then Bildad the Shuhite made answer and said,

2 “Umbuso lesizotha kukuye uNkulunkulu; nguye omisa konke ngemfanelo ezulwini eliphezulu.

Rule and power are his; he makes peace in his high places.

3 Amabutho akhe angabalwa na? Ngubani ongaphunyelwa yikukhanya kwakhe na?

Is it possible for his armies to be numbered? and on whom is not his light shining?

4 Pho umuntu angaba ngolungileyo njani kuNkulunkulu na? Angenza njani ozelwe ngowesifazane ukuthi ahlanzeke na?

How then is it possible for man to be upright before God? or how may he be clean who is a son of woman?

5 Khangela, nxa inyanga ngokwayo ingakhazimuli, lezinkanyezi zingahlanzekanga emehlweni akhe,

See, even the moon is not bright, and the stars are not clean in his eyes:

6 pho umuntu-ke usilela kanganani, oyimpethu nje, umuntu, oyinhlava nje kuphela!”

How much less man who is an insect, and the son of man who is a worm!
