Job 25

1 Så 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 maketh peace in his high places.

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

Is there any number of his armies? 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 justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

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

Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.

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

How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?
