Job 25

NEW JERUSALEM	JERUSALEM
1 Bildad of Shuah spoke next. He said:	1 Bildad de Shuah prit la parole et dit:
2 What sovereignty, what awe, is his who creates peace on his heights!	2 C'est un souverain redoutable, Celui qui fait régner la paix dans ses hauteurs.
3 Who can count his armies? Against whom does his lightning not surge forth?	3 Peut-on dénombrer ses troupes? Contre qui ne surgit pas son éclair?
4 Could anyone think God regards him as virtuous, the child of woman as pure!	4 Et l'homme se croirait juste devant Dieu, il serait pur, l'enfant de la femme?
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 La lune même est sans éclat, les étoiles se sont pas pures à ses yeux.
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 Combien moins l'homme, cette vermine, un fils d'homme, ce vermisseau?
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?
