< Job 25 >

1 THEN answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
Då tok Bildad frå Suah til ords og sagde:
2 Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places.
«Hjå honom magt og rædsla finst; han i sin himmel freden skaper.
3 Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?
Kven veit talet på hans herar? Kven yverstrålar ei hans ljos?
4 How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
Kor kann ein mann ha rett mot Gud? Er vel ein kvinnefødd uskuldig?
5 Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.
Sjå, månen er’kje klår ein gong, og stjernon’ er’kje reine for han.
6 How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?
Enn mannen då, den vesle krypen? Menneskjebarnet, denne makk?»
