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