Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
Dominion and fear are with him;
He maketh peace in his high places.
Is there any number of his armies?
And upon whom doth not his light arise?
How then can man be just {Or, before}with God?
Or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
Behold, even the moon hath no brightness,
And the stars are not pure in his sight:
How much less man, that is a worm!
And the son of man, that is a worm!
Querverweise zu Hiob 25,6 Hiob 25,6
How much more them that dwell in houses of clay,Whose foundation is in the dust,Who are crushed {Or, like}before the moth!
And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, who am but dust and ashes:
But I am a worm, and no man;A reproach of men, and despised of the people.
Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith Jehovah, and {Or, thy Redeemer, the Holy One &c.}thy Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.
