Job 25

1 Saa tog Sjuhiten Bildad til Orde og sagde:

Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,

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

“Dominion and fear are with him; he makes order in his high places of heaven.

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

Is there any end to the number of his armies? Upon whom does his light not shine?

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

How then can man be righteous with God? How can he who is born of a woman be clean, acceptable to him?

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

See, even the moon has no brightness to him; the stars are not pure in his sight.

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

How much less man, who is a worm— a son of man, who is a worm!”
