Job 25

1 Saa tog Sjuhiten Bildad til Orde og sagde:

Then answered Bildad the Shuchite, and said,

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

Dominion and dread are with him: he maketh peace in high places.

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

Can the number of his hosts be given? and over whom riseth not his light?

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

How then can man be justified with God? or how can be one that is born of woman?

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

Behold, even as regardeth the moon, that is not bright; yea, the stars are not pure in his eyes.

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

How much less the mortal, the mere worm? and the son of earth, the mere maggot?
