Ἰώβ 25

1 ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Βαλδαδ ὁ Σαυχίτης λέγει

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

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

Dominion and fear are with him; he maketh peace in his high places.

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

Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?

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

How then can man be just with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

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

Behold, even the moon hath no brightness, and the stars are not pure in his sight:

6 ἔα δέ ἄνθρωπος σαπρία καὶ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου σκώληξ

How much less man, that is a worm! and the son of man, which is a worm!
