Iyov 25 איוב כ״ה

Job 25 · 6 verses

1
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:
א׳וַ֭יַּעַן בִּלְדַּ֥ד הַשֻּׁחִ֗י וַיֹּאמַֽר׃
2
Dominion and fear are with Him; He maketh peace in His high places.
ב׳הַמְשֵׁ֣ל וָפַ֣חַד עִמּ֑וֹ עֹשֶׂ֥ה שָׁ֝ל֗וֹם בִּמְרוֹמָֽיו׃
3
Is there any number of His armies? And upon whom doth not His light arise?
ג׳הֲיֵ֣שׁ מִ֭סְפָּר לִגְדוּדָ֑יו וְעַל־מִ֝֗י לֹא־יָק֥וּם אוֹרֵֽהוּ׃
4
How then can man be just with God? Or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
ד׳וּמַה־יִּצְדַּ֣ק אֱנ֣וֹשׁ עִם־אֵ֑ל וּמַה־יִּ֝זְכֶּ֗ה יְל֣וּד אִשָּֽׁה׃
5
Behold, even the moon hath no brightness, And the stars are not pure in His sight;
ה׳הֵ֣ן עַד־יָ֭רֵחַ וְלֹ֣א יַאֲהִ֑יל וְ֝כוֹכָבִ֗ים לֹא־זַכּ֥וּ בְעֵינָֽיו׃
6
How much less man, that is a worm! And the son of man, that is a maggot!
ו׳אַ֭ף כִּֽי־אֱנ֣וֹשׁ רִמָּ֑ה וּבֶן־אָ֝דָ֗ם תּוֹלֵעָֽה׃ פ
