UJobe 25

1 Kwathi-ke uBhilidadi umShuhi waphendula wathi:

Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,

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?

Can his armies be counted? On whom does his light not arise?

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

How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?

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

Look, even the moon has no brightness, 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, who is a worm, the son of man, who is a worm."
