< 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 eius? 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 iustificari 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 stellae non sunt mundae in conspectu eius:
6 But alas! man is corruption, and the son of man a worm.
Quanto magis homo putredo, et filius hominis vermis?
