UJobe 25

1 Kwathi-ke uBhilidadi umShuhi waphendula wathi:

Then Baldad the Suhite answered, and I said:

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

Power and terror are with him, who maketh peace in his high places.

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

Is there any numbering of his soldiers? and upon whom shall not his light arise?

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

Can man be justified compared with God, or he that is born of a woman appear clean?

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

Behold even the moon doth not shine, and the stars are not pure in his sight.

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

How much less man that is rottenness and the son of man who is a worm?
