25:1 Bildad’s third response to Iyyov

25 Then Bildad (from Shuah) responded to Iyyov:

2 Dominion and fear belong to God.

He establishes peace in his high places.

3 Can his troops be counted?

Is there anyone who his light doesn’t shine on?

4 How can a person be innocent before God?

≈How could a human born from a women be pure?

5 Look, even the moon isn’t clear to us,

≈and the stars aren’t pure in our sight.

6 Indeed, a person’s just like an insect,

≈and human offspring are as insignificant as worms.

25 and_answered Bildad the_Shuhite and_said.
2 Dominion and_dread with_him/it [he _is]_making peace in/on/at/with_heights_his.
3 Is _there number to_troops_his and_upon whom not does _it _rise light_his.
4 And_how will _he _be _righteous a _person with god and_how will _he _be _pure [one]_born of _a _woman.
5 There up _to [the]_moon and_not it _is _clear and_stars not they _are _pure in/on/at/with_sight_his.
6 Indeed if/because a _person a _maggot and_son of _humankind a _worm.
