Job 25

1 And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: —

ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Βαλδαδ ὁ Σαυχίτης λέγει

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

τί γὰρ προοίμιον ἢ φόβος παρ’ αὐτοῦ ὁ ποιῶν τὴν σύμπασαν ἐν ὑψίστῳ

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

μὴ γάρ τις ὑπολάβοι ὅτι ἔστιν παρέλκυσις πειραταῖς ἐπὶ τίνας δὲ οὐκ ἐπελεύσεται ἔνεδρα παρ’ αὐτοῦ

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

πῶς γὰρ ἔσται δίκαιος βροτὸς ἔναντι κυρίου ἢ τίς ἂν ἀποκαθαρίσαι ἑαυτὸν γεννητὸς γυναικός

5 Lo — unto the moon, and it shineth not, And stars have not been pure in His eyes.

εἰ σελήνῃ συντάσσει καὶ οὐκ ἐπιφαύσκει ἄστρα δὲ οὐ καθαρὰ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ

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

ἔα δέ ἄνθρωπος σαπρία καὶ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου σκώληξ
