Job 25

God's providence often suffers the wicked to go on a long time in their sins: but punisheth them in another life.

Respondens autem Baldad Suhites, dixit:

Then Baldad the Suhite answered, and said:

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

Power and terror are with him, who maketh peace in his high places.

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

Is there any numbering of his soldiers? and upon whom shall not his light arise?

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

Can man be justified compared with God, or he that is born of a woman appear clean?

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

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

quanto magis homo putredo, et filius hominis vermis?

How much less man that is rottenness and the son of man who is a worm?
