< Job 25 >

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite spoke up and said,
Respondens autem Baldad Suhites, dixit:
2 “Dominion and awe belong to God. He brings peace to his heavens.
Potestas et terror apud eum est, qui facit concordiam in sublimibus suis.
3 Who can count his armies? Is there anywhere his light doesn't shine?
Numquid est numerus militum ejus? et super quem non surget lumen illius?
4 How can a human being be right before God? Can anyone born of woman be pure?
Numquid justificari potest homo comparatus Deo? aut apparere mundus natus de muliere?
5 If in God's eyes even the moon does not shine brightly, and the stars are not pure,
Ecce luna etiam non splendet, et stellæ non sunt mundæ in conspectu ejus:
6 how much less a human being—who by comparison is like a maggot or a worm!”
quanto magis homo putredo, et filius hominis vermis?
