¹Bildad iz Šuaha progovori tad i reče:

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

²"Gospodstvo i strah u njegovoj su ruci i on stvara mir u svojim visinama.

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

³Zar se njemu čete izbrojiti mogu i svjetlo njegovo nad kim ne izlazi?

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

⁴Pa kako da čovjek prav bude pred Bogom i od žene rođen kako da čist bude?

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

⁵Eto, i mjesec pred njime sjaj svoj gubi, njegovim očima zvijezde nisu čiste.

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

⁶Što reći onda o čovjeku, tom crvu, o sinu čovjekovu, crviću jadnom?
