Job 25

NEW JERUSALEM	Біблія
1 Bildad of Shuah spoke next. He said:	1 Заговорив Білдад із Шуаху і мовив:
2 What sovereignty, what awe, is his who creates peace on his heights!	2 «У нього влада й страшна потуга: | він творить мир у себе на висотах.
3 Who can count his armies? Against whom does his lightning not surge forth?	3 Хіба полкам його є лічба? | І над ким він не виставляє чати своєї?
4 Could anyone think God regards him as virtuous, the child of woman as pure!	4 І як людині бути праведною перед Богом? | Як бути чистим тому, хто родивсь від жінки?
5 Why, the very moon lacks lustre, the very stars seem impure to him! The Shadows tremble underneaththe earth, the waters and their denizens are afraid.	5 Коли навіть місяць не світить, | і зорі не чисті перед очима в нього;
6 How much less a human, this maggot, the child of man, this worm! Before his eyes, Sheol is bare,Perdition itself is uncovered.	6 то що вже людина — хробак той, | і людини син — червяк той!»
7 He it was who spread the North above the void and poised the earth on nothingness.
8 He fastens up the waters in his clouds, without the clouds giving way under their weight.
9 He covers the face of the full moon, spreading his cloud across it.
10 He has traced a ring on the surface of the waters, at the boundary between light and dark.
11 The pil ars of the heavens tremble, awe-struck at his threats.
12 By his power, he has whipped up the Sea, by his skil , he has crushed Rahab.
13 His breath has made the heavens luminous, his hand transfixed the Fleeing Serpent.
14 This is only a fraction of what he has done and al we catch of it is the feeblest echo. But who canconceive the thunder of his power?
