Job 25

1 Then responded Bildad the Shuhite, and said: —

ויען בלדד השחי ויאמר

2 Dominion and dread, are with him, who causeth prosperity among his lofty ones;

המשל ופחד עמו עשה שלום במרומיו

3 Is there any number to his troops? And upon whom ariseth not his light?

היש מספר לגדודיו ועל-מי לא-יקום אורהו

4 How then shall, a mortal, be just with GOD? Or how shall he be pure who is born of a woman?

ומה-יצדק אנוש עם-אל ומה-יזכה ילוד אשה

5 Look as far as the moon, and it is not clear, and, the stars, are not bright in his eyes!

הן עד-ירח ולא יאהיל וכוכבים לא-זכו בעיניו

6 How much less a mortal who is a creeping thing? Or a son of the earth-born who is a worm?

אף כי-אנוש רמה ובן-אדם תולעה
