1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, 2 Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places. 3 Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise? 4 How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman? 5 Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight. 6 How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?
1 Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Βαλδαδ ὁ Σαυχίτης λέγει
2 Τί γὰρ προοίμιον ἢ φόβος παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ, ὁ ποιῶν τὴν σύμπασαν ἐν ὑψίστῳ;
3 μὴ γάρ τις ὑπολάβοι ὅτι ἔστιν παρέλκυσις πειραταῖς; ἐπὶ τίνας δὲ οὐκ ἐπελεύσεται ἔνεδρα παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ;
4 πῶς γὰρ ἔσται δίκαιος βροτὸς ἔναντι κυρίου; ἢ τίς ἂν ἀποκαθαρίσαι ἑαυτὸν γεννητὸς γυναικός;
5 εἰ σελήνῃ συντάσσει, καὶ οὐκ ἐπιφαύσκει· ἄστρα δὲ οὐ καθαρὰ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ.
6 ἔα δέ, ἄνθρωπος σαπρία καὶ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου σκώληξ.
