Job 25:1 Meaning and Commentary

Job 25:1

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite
Not to what Job had just now delivered, in order to disprove that, that men, guilty of the grossest crimes, often go unpunished in this life, and prosper and succeed, and die in peace and quietness, as other men; either because he was convinced of the truth of what he had said, or else because he thought he was an obstinate man, and that it was best to let him alone, and say no more to him, since there was no likelihood of working any conviction on him; wherefore he only tries to possess his mind of the greatness and majesty of God, in order to deter him from applying to God in a judicial way, and expecting redress and relief from him;

and said;
as follows.

Job 25:1 In-Context

1 Et Bildad, de Shuach, prit la parole, et dit:
2 L'empire et la terreur lui appartiennent, il fait règner la paix dans ses hauts lieux.
3 Ses cohortes se peuvent-elles compter, et sur qui sa lumière ne se lève-t-elle pas?
4 Et comment l'homme serait-il juste devant Dieu? Et comment celui qui est né de la femme serait-il pur?
5 Voici, la lune même est sans éclat, et les étoiles ne sont pas pures à ses yeux.
