Job 25

1 Så tog Sjuhiten Bildad til Orde og sagde:

Then Bildad the Shuhite made answer and said,

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

Rule and power are his; he makes peace in his high places.

3 Er der mon Tal på hans Skarer? Mod hvem står ikke hans Baghold op?

Is it possible for his armies to be numbered? and on whom is not his light shining?

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

How then is it possible for man to be upright before God? or how may he be clean who is a son of woman?

5 Selv Månen er ikke klar i hans Øjne og Stjernerne ikke rene

See, even the moon is not bright, and the stars are not clean in his eyes:

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

How much less man who is an insect, and the son of man who is a worm!
