Job 25

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite spoke up and said,

ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Βαλδαδ ὁ Σαυχίτης λέγει

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ἔα δέ ἄνθρωπος σαπρία καὶ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου σκώληξ
