Job 25

1 Respondens autem Baldad Suhites, dixit:

Then answered Bildad the Shuchite, and said,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

6 quanto magis homo putredo, et filius hominis vermis?

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