أيُّوب 25

١ 1 فَقَالَ بِلْدَدُ الشُّوحِيُّ:

Then Bildad [also] replied,

٢ 2 «لِلهِ السُّلْطَانُ وَالْهَيْبَةُ، يَصْنَعُ السَّلاَمَ فِي أَعَالِيهِ.

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

٣ 3 هَلْ مِنْ إِحْصَاءٍ لأَجْنَادِهِ، وَعَلَى مَنْ لاَ يُشْرِقُ نُورُهُ؟

(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]

٤ 4 فَكَيْفَ يَتَبَرَّرُ الإِنْسَانُ عِنْدَ اللهِ، وَكَيْفَ يَزْكُو مَوْلُودُ الْمَرْأَةِ؟

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]

٥ 5 فَإِنْ كَانَ الْقَمَرُ لاَ يُضِيءُ، وَالْكَوَاكِبُ غَيْرَ نَقِيَّةٍ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ،

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

٦ 6 فَكَمْ بِالْحَرِيِّ الإِنْسَانُ الرِّمَّةُ وَابْنُ آدَمَ الدُّودُ؟»

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.”
