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 maintaineth peace in his high places.

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

Is there any numbering of his hosts? And upon whom doth not his light arise?

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

How then can man be righteous before? Or how can he be pure that is born of woman?

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

Behold, even the moon, it shineth not; 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, a worm; And the son of man, a reptile!
