Job 25
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:
1Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Βαλδὰδ ὁ Σαυχίτης, λέγει,
2Dominion and fear are with Him; He maketh peace in His high places.
2Τί γὰρ προοίμιον ἢ φόβος παρʼ αὐτοῦ ὁ ποιῶν τὴν σύμπασαν ἐν ὑψιστῳ;
3Is there any number of His armies? And upon whom doth not His light arise?
3Μὴ γάρ τις ὑπολάβοι ὅτι ἐστὶ παρέλκυσις πειραταῖς· ἐπὶ τίνας δὲ οὐκ ἐπελεύσεται ἔνεδρα παρʼ αὐτοῦ;
4How then can man be just with God? Or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
4Πῶς γὰρ ἔσται δίκαιος βροτὸς ἔναντι Κυρίου; ἢ τίς ἂν ἀποκαθαρίσαι αὐτὸν γεννητὸς γυναικός;
5Behold, even the moon hath no brightness, and the stars are not pure in His sight;
5Εἰ σελήνῃ συντάσσει, καὶ οὐκ ἐπιφαύσκει, ἄστρα δὲ οὐ καθαρὰ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ.
6How much less man, that is a worm! and the son of man, that is a maggot!
6Ἔα δὲ, ἄνθρωπος σαπρία, καὶ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου σκώληξ.
