Job 25

1 respondens autem Baldad Suites dixit

Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,

2 potestas et terror apud eum est qui facit concordiam in sublimibus suis

What beginning or fear is his—even he that makes all things in the highest?

3 numquid est numerus militum eius et super quem non surget lumen illius

For let none think that there is a respite for robbers: and upon whom will there not come a snare from him?

4 numquid iustificari potest homo conparatus Deo aut apparere mundus natus de muliere

For how shall a mortal be just before the Lord? or who that is born of a woman shall purify himself?

5 ecce etiam luna non splendet et stellae non sunt mundae in conspectu eius

If he gives an order to the moon, then it shines not; and the stars are not pure before him.

6 quanto magis homo putredo et filius hominis vermis

But alas! man is corruption, and the son of man a worm.
