¹فاجاب بلدد الشوحي وقال

¹Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

²السلطان والهيبة عنده. هو صانع السلام في اعاليه.

²Dominion and fear are with him; He maketh peace in his high places.

³هل من عدد لجنوده وعلى من لا يشرق نوره.

³Is there any number of his armies? And upon whom doth not his light arise?

⁴فكيف يتبرر الانسان عند الله وكيف يزكو مولود المرأة.

⁴How then can man be just with God? Or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

⁵هوذا نفس القمر لا يضيء والكواكب غير نقية في عينيه.

⁵Behold, even the moon hath no brightness, And the stars are not pure in his sight:

⁶فكم بالحري الانسان الرمّة وابن آدم الدود

⁶How much less man, that is a worm! And the son of man, that is a worm!
