Job 25

1 Saa tog Sjuhiten Bildad til Orde og sagde:

Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,

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

“Dominion and fear are with him. He makes peace in his high places.

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

Can his armies be counted? On whom does his light not arise?

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

How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?

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

Behold, even the moon has no brightness, and 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, and the son of man, who is a worm!”
