Job 25

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Βαλδαδ ὁ Σαυχίτης λέγει

2 “Dominion and awe belong to God; He establishes harmony in the heights of heaven.

τί γὰρ προοίμιον ἢ φόβος παρ’ αὐτοῦ ὁ ποιῶν τὴν σύμπασαν ἐν ὑψίστῳ

3 Can His troops be numbered? On whom does His light not rise?

μὴ γάρ τις ὑπολάβοι ὅτι ἔστιν παρέλκυσις πειραταῖς ἐπὶ τίνας δὲ οὐκ ἐπελεύσεται ἔνεδρα παρ’ αὐτοῦ

4 How then can a man be just before God? How can one born of woman be pure?

πῶς γὰρ ἔσται δίκαιος βροτὸς ἔναντι κυρίου ἢ τίς ἂν ἀποκαθαρίσαι ἑαυτὸν γεννητὸς γυναικός

5 If even the moon does not shine, 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 but a maggot, and the son of man, who is but a worm!”

ἔα δέ ἄνθρωπος σαπρία καὶ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου σκώληξ
