Job Chapter 25

Bildad's shortest and final word to Job: no one is pure before God.

Job 25 - Bildad's Final Reply

In this short closing speech, Job 24 gives way to Bildad's last argument: if even the moon and stars are not pure in God's sight, no human born of a woman can claim to be clean. Read the full text in the Job overview.


書亞人 比勒達 回答 說:

神有 治理之權,有威嚴可畏;他在高處 施行 和平。

他的諸軍 豈能 數算?他的光亮 一發, 誰 不蒙照呢?

這樣在 神面前,人 怎能 稱義?婦人 所生的 怎能 潔淨?

在 神眼前,月亮 也 無 光亮,星宿 也不 清潔。

何況 如蟲 的人,如蛆 的世人呢!

Bildad's question 'how can he be clean that is born of a woman' echoes an idea explored further in <a href="/bible/chiun/job/chapter-15/14">Job 15:14-16</a>. Job answers this challenge directly in <a href="/bible/chiun/job/chapter-26">Job 26</a>.
