1Så tog Sjuhiten Bildad til Orde og sagde:
1And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: —
2"Hos ham er der Vælde og Rædsel, han skaber Fred i sin høje Bolig.
2The rule and fear [are] with Him, Making peace in His high places.
3Er der mon Tal på hans Skarer? Mod hvem står ikke hans Baghold op?
3Is their [any] number to His troops? And on whom ariseth not His light?
4Hvor kan en Mand have Ret imod Gud, hvor kan en kvindefødt være ren?
4And what? is man righteous with God? And what? is he pure — born of a woman?
5Selv Månen er ikke klar i hans Øjne og Stjernerne ikke rene
5Lo — unto the moon, and it shineth not, And stars have not been pure in His eyes.
6endsige en Mand, det Kryb, et Menneskebarn, den Orm!
6How much less man — a grub, And the son of man — a worm!
