¹Ipapo Bhiridhadhi muShuhi akapindura, akati,

¹Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,

²Umambo nokutyisa zvinaye; Iye unoyananisa pamatunhu ake akakwirira.

²“Dominion and fear are with him. He makes peace in his high places.

³Hondo dzake dzingaverengwa here? Ndianiko asingavhenekerwi nechiedza chake?

³Can his armies be counted? On whom does his light not arise?

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

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

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

⁵Behold, even the moon has no brightness, and the stars are not pure in his sight;

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

⁶How much less man, who is a worm, the son of man, who is a worm!”
