¹Ipapo Bhiridhadhi muShuhi akapindura, akati,

¹And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,

²Umambo nokutyisa zvinaye; Iye unoyananisa pamatunhu ake akakwirira.

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

³Hondo dzake dzingaverengwa here? Ndianiko asingavhenekerwi nechiedza chake?

³Is there any number of his troops? and upon whom doth not his light arise?

⁴Zvino munhu angava akarurama seiko pamberi paMwari? Nomunhu akazvarwa nomukadzi angava akachena sei?

⁴And how should man be just with ùGod? Or how should he be clean that is born of a woman?

⁵Tarira, nomwedziwo unoshaiwa kubhinya, Nenyeredzi hadzizakachena kwazvo pamberi pake.

⁵Lo, even the moon is not bright; and the stars are not pure in his sight:

⁶Ndoda munhu, iro gonye! noMwanakomana womunhu, iro gonye!

⁶How much less man, a worm, and the son of man, a worm!
