< Job 25 >
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Βαλδαδ ὁ Σαυχίτης λέγει
2 “Dominion and fear are with him. He makes peace in his high places.
τί γὰρ προοίμιον ἢ φόβος παρ’ αὐτοῦ ὁ ποιῶν τὴν σύμπασαν ἐν ὑψίστῳ
3 Can his armies be counted? On whom does his light not arise?
μὴ γάρ τις ὑπολάβοι ὅτι ἔστιν παρέλκυσις πειραταῖς ἐπὶ τίνας δὲ οὐκ ἐπελεύσεται ἔνεδρα παρ’ αὐτοῦ
4 How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?
πῶς γὰρ ἔσται δίκαιος βροτὸς ἔναντι κυρίου ἢ τίς ἂν ἀποκαθαρίσαι ἑαυτὸν γεννητὸς γυναικός
5 Behold, even the moon has no brightness, and the stars are not pure in his sight;
εἰ σελήνῃ συντάσσει καὶ οὐκ ἐπιφαύσκει ἄστρα δὲ οὐ καθαρὰ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ
6 How much less man, who is a worm, and the son of man, who is a worm!”
ἔα δέ ἄνθρωπος σαπρία καὶ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου σκώληξ
