Job 25

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

Respondens autem Baldad Suhites, dixit:

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

Potestas et terror apud eum est, qui facit concordiam in sublimibus suis.

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

Numquid est numerus militum eius? et super quem non surget lumen illius?

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

Numquid iustificari potest homo comparatus Deo, aut apparere mundus natus de muliere?

5 If even the moon does not shine, and the stars are not pure in His sight,

Ecce luna etiam non splendet, et stellæ non sunt mundæ in conspectu eius:

6 how much less man, who is but a maggot, and the son of man, who is but a worm!”

Quanto magis homo putredo, et filius hominis vermis?
