LXX Brenton's Greek Septuagint

WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Βαλδὰδ ὁ Σαυχίτης, λέγει,

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,

2 Τί γὰρ προοίμιον ἢ φόβος παρʼ αὐτοῦ ὁ ποιῶν τὴν σύμπασαν ἐν ὑψιστῳ;

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

3 Μὴ γάρ τις ὑπολάβοι ὅτι ἐστὶ παρέλκυσις πειραταῖς· ἐπὶ τίνας δὲ οὐκ ἐπελεύσεται ἔνεδρα παρʼ αὐτοῦ;

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

4 Πῶς γὰρ ἔσται δίκαιος βροτὸς ἔναντι Κυρίου; ἢ τίς ἂν ἀποκαθαρίσαι αὐτὸν γεννητὸς γυναικός;

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

5 Εἰ σελήνῃ συντάσσει, καὶ οὐκ ἐπιφαύσκει, ἄστρα δὲ οὐ καθαρὰ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ.

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

6 Ἔα δὲ, ἄνθρωπος σαπρία, καὶ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου σκώληξ.

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