Job 25

1 Saa tog Sjuhiten Bildad til Orde og sagde:

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:

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

Dominion and fear are with Him; He maintaineth 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 hosts? And upon whom doth not his light arise?

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

How then can man be righteous before? Or how can he be pure that is born of woman?

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

Behold, even the moon, it shineth not; And the stars are not pure in his sight,

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

How much less, man, a worm; And the son of man, a reptile!
