Job 25

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,

Saa tog Sjuhiten Bildad til Orde og sagde:

2 "Dominion and fear are with him. He makes peace in his high places.

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

3 Can his armies be counted? On whom does his light not arise?

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

4 How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?

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

5 Look, even the moon has no brightness, and the stars are not pure in his sight;

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

6 How much less man, who is a worm, the son of man, who is a worm."

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