Job 25

1 Respondens autem Baldad Suhites, dixit:

Then Baldad the Suhite answered by saying:

2 Potestas et terror apud eum est, qui facit concordiam in sublimibus suis.

Power and terror are with him that makes a pact with those in high places.

3 Numquid est numerus militum eius? et super quem non surget lumen illius?

Is there any limit to the number of his soldiers or to the number of those over whom his light rises?

4 Numquid iustificari potest homo comparatus Deo, aut apparere mundus natus de muliere?

Is it right for man to compare himself to God, or to appear pure though he is born of woman?

5 Ecce luna etiam non splendet, et stellæ non sunt mundæ in conspectu eius:

Behold, even the moon is not radiant, and the stars are not pure, in his sight.

6 Quanto magis homo putredo, et filius hominis vermis?

Is man much more than rottenness and the son of man much more than worms?
