Job 25

1 And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: —

Så 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 ariseth not His light?

Er der mon Tal på hans Skarer? Mod hvem står 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 Lo — unto the moon, and it shineth not, And stars have not been pure in His eyes.

Selv Månen 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!
