Job 25

1 Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,

Saa tog Sjuhiten Bildad til Orde og sagde:

2 What beginning or fear is his—even he that makes all things in the highest?

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

3 For let none think that there is a respite for robbers: and upon whom will there not come a snare from him?

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

4 For how shall a mortal be just before the Lord? or who that is born of a woman shall purify himself?

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

5 If he gives an order to the moon, then it shines not; and the stars are not pure before him.

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

6 But alas! man is corruption, and the son of man a worm.

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