Job 25

¹ Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,

² What beginning or fear is his—even he that makes all things in the highest ?

³ For let none think that there is a respite for robbers : and upon whom will there not come a snare from him ?

⁴ For how shall a mortal be just before the Lord ? or who that is born of a woman shall purify himself ?

⁵ If he gives an order to the moon, then it shines not ; and the stars are not pure before him.

⁶ But alas ! man is corruption, and the son of man a worm.
