Parallel

Job 25

Rahlfs Septuagint (1935) · Berean Standard Bible

ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Βαλδαδ ὁ Σαυχίτης λέγει
Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
τί γὰρ προοίμιον ἢ φόβος παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ ὁ ποιῶν τὴν σύμπασαν ἐν ὑψίστῳ
“Dominion and awe belong to God; He establishes harmony in the heights of heaven.
μὴ γάρ τις ὑπολάβοι ὅτι ἔστιν παρέλκυσις πειραταῖς ἐπὶ τίνας δὲ οὐκ ἐπελεύσεται ἔνεδρα παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ
Can His troops be numbered? On whom does His light not rise?
πῶς γὰρ ἔσται δίκαιος βροτὸς ἔναντι κυρίου ἢ τίς ἂν ἀποκαθαρίσαι ἑαυτὸν γεννητὸς γυναικός
How then can a man be just before God? How can one born of woman be pure?
εἰ σελήνῃ συντάσσει καὶ οὐκ ἐπιφαύσκει ἄστρα δὲ οὐ καθαρὰ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ
If even the moon does not shine, and the stars are not pure in His sight,
ἔα δέ ἄνθρωπος σαπρία καὶ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου σκώληξ
how much less man, who is but a maggot, and the son of man, who is but a worm!”
