Job 25

וַ֭יַּעַן בִּלְדַּ֥ד הַשֻּׁחִ֗י וַיֹּאמַֽר׃

Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

הַמְשֵׁ֣ל וָפַ֣חַד עִמּ֑וֹ עֹשֶׂ֥ה שָׁ֝ל֗וֹם בִּמְרוֹמָֽיו׃

“Dominion and awe belong to God; He establishes harmony in the heights of heaven.

Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places.

הֲיֵ֣שׁ מִ֭סְפָּר לִגְדוּדָ֑יו וְעַל־מִ֝֗י לֹא־יָק֥וּם אוֹרֵֽהוּ׃

Can His troops be numbered? On whom does His light not rise?

Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?

וּמַה־יִּצְדַּ֣ק אֱנ֣וֹשׁ עִם־אֵ֑ל וּמַה־יִּ֝זְכֶּ֗ה יְל֣וּד אִשָּֽׁה׃

How then can a man be just before God? How can one born of woman be pure?

How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

הֵ֣ן עַד־יָ֭רֵחַ וְלֹ֣א יַאֲהִ֑יל וְ֝כוֹכָבִ֗ים לֹא־זַכּ֥וּ בְעֵינָֽיו׃

If even the moon does not shine, and the stars are not pure in His sight,

Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.

אַ֭ף כִּֽי־אֱנ֣וֹשׁ רִמָּ֑ה וּבֶן־אָ֝דָ֗ם תּוֹלֵעָֽה׃

how much less man, who is but a maggot, and the son of man, who is but a worm!”

How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?
