CHAPTER 25
1And Bildad the Shuhite spoke up and he said:
2Dominion and fear are with Him,
Who makes peace in His heights.
3Is there a number to His brigades,
and on whom does His light not rise?
4And how can man be right with God,
how can he born of woman be clear?
5Why, the moon itself does not give light,
and the stars are not clear in His sight.
6How much more, man the maggot,
and humankind the worm.
26:5The shades shudder down below,
the waters and their denizens.
6 Sheol is naked before Him,
and Perdition is without garb.
7He stretches Zaphon over the void,
hangs earth over emptiness,
8bundles water in His clouds,
the scud does not burst below,
9covers the face of the throne,
spreads His cloud upon it,
10 draws a circle over the water
to the border of light and darkness.
11The heavens’ pillars quaver,
are dumbfounded by His roar.
12Through His power He subdued Yamm,
and in His cunning He smashed Rahab.
13 With His wind He bagged the Waters.
His hand cut down the elusive Serpent.
14Why, these are but the least of His ways,
the tag end of the word that is heard of Him.
And His might’s thunder who can grasp?
