Job, 25

1. Then Bildad the Shuhite answered:

2. His is dominion and awesome power, he who establishes peace in the heavens.

3. Can his armies be numbered? Upon whom does his light not rise?

4. How can man be righteous before God? How can one born of woman be pure?

5. Even the moon is not bright nor are the stars pure in his sight -

6. how much less man - this insect, the son of man - a worm?

Wersety związane z Job, 25:

Job chapter 25 is one of the book's smallest sections, consisting of only six verses. In it, Bildy, one of Job's friends, responds to Job's questioning and presents his perspective on divine justice and the insignificance of humanity before God. The verses related to the topics addressed in Job 25 are:

Job 4:17-19: "Can man be righteous before God? Being pure one who is born of women? Behold, God does not trust his saints, and even heaven are not pure in his eyes; the less man, the less man, which is abominable and corrupt, who drinks iniquity as water! " Bildade believes that it is impossible for man to be just before God and that as much as he tries, he will never be pure enough to approach the Creator.

Psalm 8:4: "What is the mortal man to remember Him? And the Son of man, to visit him?" This verse presents the perspective that humanity is small and insignificant compared to the greatness of God and its creation.

Job 15:14-16: "What is man, that it may be pure? And what is born of women, to be just? The man, who is abominable and corrupt, who drinks iniquity as water! " This verse is similar to the first, but it is a speech by Elifaz, another of Job's friends, who agrees with the perspective of bility.

Psalm 144:3-4: "Lord, who is man, that you may know him, or the Son of man, that man is? The man is like a breath; his days are like the shadow that passes." This psalm also presents the idea that humanity is fragile and ephemeral, in contrast to the eternity of God.

Job 9:2-3: "In fact I know that it is this; how can man be justified to God? If he wants to contend with him, a thousand things will not answer one." In this verse, Job expresses his understanding that it is impossible for man to justify himself before God and that it is no use arguing with him, for God is superior and incomprehensible to the human mind.





“Menosprezai vossas tentações e não vos demoreis nelas. Imaginai estar na presença de Jesus. O crucificado se lança em vossos braços e mora no vosso coração. Beijai-Lhe a chaga do lado, dizendo: ‘Aqui está minha esperança; a fonte viva da minha felicidade. Seguro-vos, ó Jesus, e não me aparto de vós, até que me tenhais posto a salvo’”. São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
