約伯記 25

1 叔亞人彼耳達得發言說：

Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,

2 權能和威嚴為他所有，他在高天締造和平。

What beginning or fear is his—even he that makes all things in the highest?

3 他的隊伍，豈可勝數﹖他的光明升起，誰不蒙受照耀﹖

For let none think that there is a respite for robbers: and upon whom will there not come a snare from him?

4 人在天主面前，怎能自以為義﹖婦人所生的，怎能自稱潔淨﹖

For how shall a mortal be just before the Lord? or who that is born of a woman shall purify himself?

5 在他眼中，月亮都不明亮，星辰也不皎潔，

If he gives an order to the moon, then it shines not; and the stars are not pure before him.

6 何況像蟲的人，像蛆的人子!

But alas! man is corruption, and the son of man a worm.
