Job 25

1 Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,

וַיַּעַן בִּלְדַּד הַשֻּׁחִי וַיֹּאמַֽר׃

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

הַמְשֵׁל וָפַחַד עִמּוֹ עֹשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם בִּמְרוֹמָֽיו׃

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

הֲיֵשׁ מִסְפָּר לִגְדוּדָיו וְעַל־מִי לֹא־יָקוּם אוֹרֵֽהוּ׃

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

וּמַה־יִּצְדַּק אֱנוֹשׁ עִם־אֵל וּמַה־יִּזְכֶּה יְלוּד אִשָּֽׁה׃

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

הֵן עַד־יָרֵחַ וְלֹא יַאֲהִיל וְכוֹכָבִים לֹא־זַכּוּ בְעֵינָֽיו׃

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

אַף כִּֽי־אֱנוֹשׁ רִמָּה וּבֶן־אָדָם תּוֹלֵעָֽה׃
