Job 25

1 Saa tog Sjuhiten Bildad til Orde og sagde:

Then Baldad the Suhite answered, and I said:

2 Hos ham er der Vælde og Rædsel, han skaber Fred i sin høje Bolig.

Power and terror are with him, who maketh peace in his high places.

3 Er der mon Tal paa hans Skarer? Mod hvem staar ikke hans Baghold op?

Is there any numbering of his soldiers? and upon whom shall not his light arise?

4 Hvor kan en Mand have Ret imod Gud, hvor kan en kvindefødt være ren?

Can man be justified compared with God, or he that is born of a woman appear clean?

5 Selv Maanen er ikke klar i hans Øjne og Stjernerne ikke rene,

Behold even the moon doth not shine, and the stars are not pure in his sight.

6 endsige en Mand, det Kryb, et Menneskebarn, den Orm!

How much less man that is rottenness and the son of man who is a worm?
