Job 25

1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and sayd,

Saa tog Sjuhiten Bildad til Orde og sagde:

2 Power and feare is with him, that maketh peace in his hie places.

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

3 Is there any nomber in his armies? and vpon whom shall not his light arise?

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

4 And howe may a man be iustified with God? or how can he be cleane, that is borne of woman?

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

5 Behold, he wil giue no light to the moone, and the starres are vncleane in his sight.

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

6 How much more man, a worme, euen the sonne of man, which is but a worme?

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