Job 25

1 Entonces Bildad suhita respondió:

Then Bildad [also] replied,

2 ¡El dominio y el temor son de ʼElohim, Quien establece paz en sus alturas!

“God is very powerful; everyone should have an awesome respect for him; he causes everything to be peaceful high up in heaven.

3 ¿Tienen número sus huestes? ¿Sobre quién no está su luz?

(Can anyone count the angels who are in his army [in heaven]?/No one can count the angels who are in his army [in heaven].) [RHQ] (Is there any place where his light does not shine?/There is no place where his light does not shine.) [RHQ]

4 ¿Cómo puede el hombre justificarse ante ʼElohim? ¿Y cómo puede ser puro el nacido de mujer?

So, (how can God consider anyone to be righteous?/God certainly cannot consider anyone to be righteous.) [RHQ] (How can any human being be truly pure?/No human being can be truly pure.) [RHQ]

5 Mira, ni aun la luna resplandece, ni las estrellas son puras ante Él.

Consider this: God does not even consider the full moon to be bright, and he does not consider the stars to be spotless.

6 ¡Cuánto menos el hombre que es una larva, y el hijo de hombre que es un gusano!

So, (what about humans?/he does not consider humans [to be important].) [RHQ] They are [as insignificant as] [MET] maggots. [God does not think more highly of] people [than he thinks of] worms.”
