Job 25:2
英文原文
Dominion and fear are with him - That is, God has a right to rule, and he ought to be regarded with reverence. The object of Bildad is to show that He is so great and glorious that it is impossible that man should be regarded as pure in his sight. He begins, therefore, by saying, that he is a Sovereign; that he is clothed with majesty, and that he is worthy of profound veneration.
He maketh peace in his high places - "High places," here refer to the heavenly worlds. The idea is, that he preserves peace and concord among the hosts of heaven. Numerous and mighty as are the armies of the skies, yet he keeps them in order and in awe. The object is to present an image of the majesty and power of that Being who thus controls a vast number of minds. The phrase does not necessarily imply that there had been variance or strife, and that then God had made peace, but that he preserved or kept them in peace.

Job 25:3
「他的诸军岂能数算？」——指天上的军旅，或众天使的队伍；它们在圣经中常被描绘为列阵成军的编制；见 Isaiah 1:9 注释。这里所用的字，并不是通常译作“万军”（hosts）的那个字（צבא tsâbâ'），而是 גדוּד gedûd，其本义为一队人马、一伙或一支军队。它在本文中或指众星座——星座常被喻为神所编排号令的军队——或指众天使。
「他的亮光可不照在地上呢？」——这显然是要显明神的威严与荣耀。它大概是指日光，即祂所创造、所吩咐的光。其观念是：光弥漫万有；它既受祂调度，便透入一切所在，漫过诸世界。这意象鲜明而崇高，再没有什么比它更能显明神的威严与荣耀了。
英文原文
Is there any number of his armies? - The armies of heaven; or the hosts of angelic beings, which are often represented as arranged or marshalled into armies; see the notes at Isaiah 1:9. The word which is used here is not the common one which is rendered "hosts," (צבא tsâbâ'), but is גדוּד gedûd which means properly a troop, band, or army. It may here mean either the constellations often represented as the army which God marshals and commands, or it may mean the angels.
And upon whom doth not his light arise? - This is designed evidently to show the majesty and glory of God. It refers probably to the light of the sun, as the light which he creates and commands. The idea is, that it pervades all things; that, as controlled by him, it penetrates all places, and flows over all worlds. The image is a striking and sublime one, and nothing is better fitted to show the majesty and glory of God.

Job 25:4
「这样在神面前，人怎能称义？」——见 Job 4:17-18；Job 15:15-16。比勒达如今非但不能回应约伯所诉诸的事实，所能做的只是重复先前说过的话。这表明他自觉无力处理这论证，却又不愿承认自己已被驳倒。
「妇人所生的怎能洁净？」——这一见解本是约伯自己说过的（Job 14:4）。比勒达此刻或许是要把它当作无可置疑的真理加以采纳，并回敬给约伯，值得他特别留意。这与约伯所提出的论证毫无关联，也全然文不对题——除非像比勒达所想的那样，约伯所持的论证路线意味着他自视为纯洁。
英文原文
How then can man be justified with God? - see Job 4:17-18; Job 15:15-16. Instead of meeting the facts to which Job had appealed, all that Bildad could now do was to repeat what had been said before. It shows that he felt himself unable to dispose of the argument, and yet that he was not willing to confess that he was vanquished.
Or how can he be clean? - This sentiment had been expressed by Job himself, Job 14:4. Perhaps Bildad meant now to adopt it as undoubted truth, and to throw it back upon Job as worthy of his special attention. It has no bearing on the arguments which Job had advanced, and is utterly irrelevant except as Bildad supposed that the course of argument maintained by Job implied that he supposed himself to be pure.

Job 25:5
「在神眼前，月亮也无光亮」——或作：看哪，就是月亮也不发光。意思是：与神相比，它是昏暗而朦胧的。这里的观念是：最美丽、最荣耀的物体，一与他相比，也变得黯淡而消隐。Jerome如此翻译：Ecce luna（看哪，月亮） etiam non splendet.（也不发光）这里译作“shineth（发光）”的词（יאהיל ya'âhalı̂yl）常指支搭或迁移帐棚，它是אהל 'ôhel一词的一个形式，而该词一律译作帐棚或会幕。有人猜想这里的意思是：连月亮和天上的众星——上方那明亮的华盖——也不足以为神提供帐棚或居所。但平行句法似乎要求采取通常的解释，即月亮与众星在神面前黯然失色。按Gesenius的看法，אהל 'ôhel一词的这一意义，源于它与הלל hâlal（清晰、明亮）一词的关系，出自פא与עע这组动词的相互关系。阿拉伯语中也有同样的意思。
「星宿也不清洁」——意思是：与他相比，它们就算不得明亮。这段话的目的是显明至高者的荣耀，以及没有任何事物能与他相比；参见Job 4:18的注释。
英文原文
Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not - Or, behold even the moon shineth not. That is, in comparison with God it is dark and obscure. The idea is, that the most beautiful and glorious objects become dim and fade away when compared with him. So Jerome renders it, Ecce luna etiam non splendet. The word here rendered "shineth" (יאהיל ya'âhalı̂yl) frequently means to pitch or remove a tent, and is a form of the word אהל 'ôhel uniformly rendered tent or tabernacle. Some have supposed that the meaning here is, that even the moon and the stars of heaven - the bright canopy above - were not fit to furnish a tent or dwelling for God. But the parallelism seems to demand the usual interpretation, as meaning that the moon and stars faded away before God. The word אהל 'ôhel derives this meaning, according to Gesenius, from its relation to the word הלל hâlal, to be clear or brilliant, from the mutual relation of the פא and עע verbs. The Arabic has the same meaning.
Yea, the stars are not pure in his sight - That is, they are not bright in comparison with him. The design is to show the glory of the Most High and that nothing could be compared with him; see the notes at Job 4:18.

Job 25:6
「何况如虫的人」——参见Job 4:19。人在此处被比作虫；在Job 4:19中，人被说成住在土造的房屋里，在蛾子面前即被压碎。两处的用意，都是要表明人与神相比是何等微不足道。
「如虫」——רמה rı̂mmâh；参见Job 7:5。这个词通常用来指在腐烂污秽之物中滋生的蛆虫，因此这个比较就愈发有力。
「如蛆的世人」——这是说到人的另一种说法。人世间的任何一个儿女都是如此；他们当中没有一个能与神相比；参较Matthew 1:1的注释。
「如蛆」——תולעה tôlê‛âh；参较Isaiah 1:18的注释。这个词常指那可提取朱红或绯红色染料的虫子。不过它也用来指滋生在腐败之物上的虫，此处正是取这个用法；参较Exodus 16:20；Isaiah 14:11；Isaiah 66:24。它也用来指毁坏植物的虫：Jonah 4:7；Deuteronomy 28:39。这里的意思是：人贫穷、软弱、无力；与神相比，他不过是一条爬行的虫。本章所说的一切都真实而优美，却与辩论的主题毫无干系。约伯曾诉诸世事的进程，来证明自己立场的真实。要回应他，正当的办法要么是否认事实确如他所声称的那样，要么是证明这些事实并不能确立他引证它们所要证明的结论。但比勒达两样都没有做；他也没有坦白承认论据正对他和他的朋友们不利。到了争论的这个地步，他们既无法回应约伯所陈述的，若能承认自己错了、把胜利的桂冠让给约伯，本为光荣。但那样做需要非比寻常的坦率和谦卑；大多数人宁肯说上几句——哪怕与眼前的问题毫不相干——也不肯如此行。
英文原文
How much less man - See Job 4:19. Man is mentioned here as a worm; in Job 4:19 he is said to dwell in a house of clay and to be crushed before the moth. In both cases the design is to represent him as insignificant in comparison with God.
A worm - רמה rı̂mmâh; see Job 7:5. The word is commonly applied to such worms as are bred in putridity, and hence, the comparison is the more forcible.
And the son of man - Another mode of speaking of man. Any one of the children of man is the same. No one of them can be compared with God; compare the notes at Matthew 1:1.
Which is a worm - תולעה tôlê‛âh; compare the notes at Isaiah 1:18. This word frequently denotes the worm from which the scarlet or crimson color was obtained. It is, however, used to denote the worm that is bred on putrid substances, and is so used here; compare Exodus 16:20; Isaiah 14:11; Isaiah 66:24. It is also applied to a worm that destroys plants. Jonah 4:7; Deuteronomy 28:39. Here it means, that man is poor, feeble, powerless. In comparison with God he is a crawling worm. All that is said in this chapter is true and beautiful, but it has nothing to do with the subject in debate. Job had appealed to the course of events in proof of the truth of his position. The true way to meet that was either to deny that the facts existed as he alleged, or to show that they did not prove what be had adduced them to establish. But Bildad did neither; nor did he ingenuously confess that the argument was against him and his friends. At this stage of the controversy, since they had nothing to reply to what Job had alleged, it would have been honorable in them to have acknowledged that they were in error, and to have yielded the palm of victory to him. But it requires extraordinary candor and humility to do that; and rather than do it, most people would prefer to say something - though it has nothing to do with the case in hand.
神有治理之权，有威严可畏 - 就是说，神有权统治，他当受敬畏。比勒达的目的是要表明，神如此伟大荣耀，人在他眼前断不能被视为纯洁。因此他开宗明义地说，神是掌权者；他披戴尊荣，配得极深的崇敬。
他在高处施行和平 - "高处"在这里指天上的众世界。其意思是：他在天上的众军中间保守和平与和谐。天上的军队虽然众多而有能力，他却使他们井然有序、心存敬畏。目的是要描绘那如此统管众多心智者的威严与大能的图景。这个短语不一定意味着先前曾有纷争冲突、然后神促成了和平，而是说他保守、维持他们于平安之中。
