Job 25

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite made answer and said,

ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Βαλδαδ ὁ Σαυχίτης λέγει

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

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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

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

ἔα δέ ἄνθρωπος σαπρία καὶ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου σκώληξ
