< Job 25 >
1 Saa tog Sjuhiten Bildad til Orde og sagde:
And Bildad the Shuhite answers and says:
2 Hos ham er der Vælde og Rædsel, han skaber Fred i sin høje Bolig.
“The rule and fear [are] with Him, Making peace in His high places.
3 Er der mon Tal paa hans Skarer? Mod hvem staar ikke hans Baghold op?
Is their [any] number to His troops? And on whom does His light not arise?
4 Hvor kan en Mand have Ret imod Gud, hvor kan en kvindefødt være ren?
And what? Is man righteous with God? And what? Is he pure—born of a woman?
5 Selv Maanen er ikke klar i hans Øjne og Stjernerne ikke rene,
Behold—to the moon, and it does not shine, And stars have not been pure in His eyes.
6 endsige en Mand, det Kryb, et Menneskebarn, den Orm!
How much less man—a grub, And the son of man—a worm!”
