Job 25

1 Saa tog Sjuhiten Bildad til Orde og sagde:

And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: —

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 ariseth not His light?

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,

Lo — unto the moon, and it shineth not, 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!
