25 Respondens autem Baldad Suhites, dixit:

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

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

Numquid justificari potest homo comparatus Deo? aut apparere mundus natus de muliere?

Ecce luna etiam non splendet, et stellae non sunt mundae in conspectu ejus:

quanto magis homo putredo, et filius hominis vermis?

Bildad

25 Then Bildad the Shuhite(A) replied:

“Dominion and awe belong to God;(B)
    he establishes order in the heights of heaven.(C)
Can his forces be numbered?
    On whom does his light not rise?(D)
How then can a mortal be righteous before God?
    How can one born of woman be pure?(E)
If even the moon(F) is not bright
    and the stars are not pure in his eyes,(G)
how much less a mortal, who is but a maggot—
    a human being,(H) who is only a worm!”(I)
