UJobe 25

1 Wasephendula uBilidadi umShuhi wathi:

Then Baldad the Suhite answered, and I said:

2 Ukubusa lokwesabeka kulaye; uyenza ukuthula endaweni zakhe eziphezulu.

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

3 Kukhona inani yini lamabutho akhe? Ngubani okungamphumeliyo ukukhanya kwakhe?

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

4 Pho umuntu angalunga njani kuNkulunkulu? Kumbe ozelwe ngowesifazana angahlambuluka njani?

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

5 Khangela kuze kube senyangeni, njalo kayikhazimuli, lezinkanyezi kazihlambulukanga emehlweni akhe.

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

6 Pho kangakanani umuntu oyimpethu, lendodana yomuntu engumswenya!

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