Then Baldad the Suhite answered, and said:
2
Potestas et terror apud eum est, qui facit concordiam in sublimibus suis.
2
Ay, but what power, ay, but what terrors he wields, who reigns peacefully, there in high heaven!
2
Power and terror are with him, who maketh peace in his high places.
3
Numquid est numerus militum ejus? et super quem non surget lumen illius?
3
He, the lord of countless armies, he, whose light dazzles every eye!
3
Is there any numbering of his soldiers? and upon whom shall not his light arise?
4
Numquid justificari potest homo comparatus Deo? aut apparere mundus natus de muliere?
4
And shall man, born of woman, win his suit, prove his innocence, when he is matched with God?
4

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

5
Behold even the moon doth not shine, and the stars are not pure in his sight.
6

6
and what is man but waste and worm in his presence?
6
How much less man that is rottenness and the son of man who is a worm?
