Ἰώβ 25

1 ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Βαλδαδ ὁ Σαυχίτης λέγει

Then answered Bildad the Shuchite, and said,

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

Dominion and dread are with him: he maketh peace in high places.

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

Can the number of his hosts be given? and over whom riseth not his light?

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

How then can man be justified with God? or how can be one that is born of woman?

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

Behold, even as regardeth the moon, that is not bright; yea, the stars are not pure in his eyes.

6 ἔα δέ ἄνθρωπος σαπρία καὶ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου σκώληξ

How much less the mortal, the mere worm? and the son of earth, the mere maggot?
