UJobe 25

1 Kwathi-ke uBhilidadi umShuhi waphendula wathi:

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

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

Dominion and fear are with him, he makes peace in his high places.

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

Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom does not his light arise?

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

How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

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

Behold even to the moon, and it shines not; yea, 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 a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?
