< Job 25 >

1 Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,
فَأَجَابَ بِلْدَدُ ٱلشُّوحِيُّ وَقَالَ:١
2 What beginning or fear is his—even he that makes all things in the highest?
«ٱلسُّلْطَانُ وَٱلْهَيْبَةُ عِنْدَهُ. هُوَ صَانِعُ ٱلسَّلَامِ فِي أَعَالِيهِ.٢
3 For let none think that there is a respite for robbers: and upon whom will there not come a snare from him?
هَلْ مِنْ عَدَدٍ لِجُنُودِهِ؟ وَعَلَى مَنْ لَا يُشْرِقُ نُورُهُ؟٣
4 For how shall a mortal be just before the Lord? or who that is born of a woman shall purify himself?
فَكَيْفَ يَتَبَرَّرُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ عِنْدَ ٱللهِ؟ وَكَيْفَ يَزْكُو مَوْلُودُ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ؟٤
5 If he gives an order to the moon, then it shines not; and the stars are not pure before him.
هُوَذَا نَفْسُ ٱلْقَمَرِ لَا يُضِيءُ، وَٱلْكَوَاكِبُ غَيْرُ نَقِيَّةٍ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ.٥
6 But alas! man is corruption, and the son of man a worm.
فَكَمْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلرِّمَّةُ، وَٱبْنُ آدَمَ ٱلدُّودُ؟».٦
