Job 25

1 Respondens autem Baldad Suhites, dixit:

Then Bildad the Shuhite spoke up and said,

2 Potestas et terror apud eum est, qui facit concordiam in sublimibus suis.

“Dominion and awe belong to God. He brings peace to his heavens.

3 Numquid est numerus militum ejus? et super quem non surget lumen illius?

Who can count his armies? Is there anywhere his light doesn't shine?

4 Numquid justificari potest homo comparatus Deo? aut apparere mundus natus de muliere?

How can a human being be right before God? Can anyone born of woman be pure?

5 Ecce luna etiam non splendet, et stellæ non sunt mundæ in conspectu ejus:

If in God's eyes even the moon does not shine brightly, and the stars are not pure,

6 quanto magis homo putredo, et filius hominis vermis?

how much less a human being—who by comparison is like a maggot or a worm!”
