Job 25

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite made answer and said,

Saa tog Sjuhiten Bildad til Orde og sagde:

2 Rule and power are his; he makes peace in his high places.

Hos ham er der Vælde og Rædsel, han skaber Fred i sin høje Bolig.

3 Is it possible for his armies to be numbered? and on whom is not his light shining?

Er der mon Tal paa hans Skarer? Mod hvem staar ikke hans Baghold op?

4 How then is it possible for man to be upright before God? or how may he be clean who is a son of woman?

Hvor kan en Mand have Ret imod Gud, hvor kan en kvindefødt være ren?

5 See, even the moon is not bright, and the stars are not clean in his eyes:

Selv Maanen er ikke klar i hans Øjne og Stjernerne ikke rene,

6 How much less man who is an insect, and the son of man who is a worm!

endsige en Mand, det Kryb, et Menneskebarn, den Orm!
