Job 25

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered, and said,

Saa tog Sjuhiten Bildad til Orde og sagde:

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

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

3 Is there any number of his armies? And upon whom does his light not arise?

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

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

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

5 Behold, even the moon has no brightness. And the stars are not pure in his sight.

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

6 How much less man, who is a worm! And the son of man, who is a worm!

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