Job 25

1 And Bildad the Shuhite answers and says:

Saa tog Sjuhiten Bildad til Orde og sagde:

2 “The rule and fear [are] with Him, Making peace in His high places.

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

3 Is their [any] number to His troops? And on whom does His light not arise?

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

4 And what? Is man righteous with God? And what? Is he pure—born of a woman?

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

5 Behold—to the moon, and it does not shine, And stars have not been pure in His eyes.

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

6 How much less man—a grub, And the son of man—a worm!”

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