Job 25

1 Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,

Respondens autem Baldad Suhites, dixit:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

quanto magis homo putredo, et filius hominis vermis?
