Versification differs between traditions. Columns are aligned by verse number; where a text has no such verse the cell is left blank rather than forced into line. Tap any word for a gloss.

⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.

25:1
וַ֭יַּעַן בִּלְדַּ֥ד הַשֻּׁחִ֗י וַיֹּאמַֽר׃
ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Βαλδαδ ὁ Σαυχίτης λέγει
Respondens autem Baldad Suhites, dixit :
ወእደ፡ ተናገረ፡ በልዳዶስ፡ አውኬናዊ፡ ወተሰጥወ፡ ወይቤ።
Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
25:2
הַמְשֵׁ֣ל וָפַ֣חַד עִמּ֑וֹ עֹשֶׂ֥ה שָׁ֝ל֗וֹם בִּמְרוֹמָֽיו׃
τί γὰρ προοίμιον ἢ φόβος παρ’ αὐτοῦ ὁ ποιῶν τὴν σύμπασαν ἐν ὑψίστῳ
Potestas et terror apud eum est, qui facit concordiam in sublimibus suis.
ቀዳሚሁ፡ አኮኑ፡ በኀቤሁ፡ ውእቱ፡ ግርማ፡ ወዘገብረ፡ ኵሎ፡ ዘውስተ፡ አርያም።
“Dominion and fear are with him. He makes peace in his high places.
25:3
הֲיֵ֣שׁ מִ֭סְפָּר לִגְדוּדָ֑יו וְעַל־מִ֝֗י לֹא־יָק֥וּם אוֹרֵֽהוּ׃
μὴ γάρ τις ὑπολάβοι ὅτι ἔστιν παρέλκυσις πειραταῖς ἐπὶ τίνας δὲ οὐκ ἐπελεύσεται ἔνεδρα παρ’ αὐτοῦ
Numquid est numerus militum ejus ? et super quem non surget lumen illius ?
ወአልቦ፡ ዘይመስል፡ ከመቦ፡ ዘይስሕት፡ በኅበ፡ ሰራቂ፡ ወለመኑ፡ ዘኢበጽሐቶ፡ እኪቱ።
Can his armies be counted? On whom does his light not arise?
25:4
וּמַה־יִּצְדַּ֣ק אֱנ֣וֹשׁ עִם־אֵ֑ל וּמַה־יִּ֝זְכֶּ֗ה יְל֣וּד אִשָּֽׁה׃
πῶς γὰρ ἔσται δίκαιος βροτὸς ἔναντι κυρίου ἢ τίς ἂν ἀποκαθαρίσαι ἑαυτὸν γεννητὸς γυναικός
Numquid justificari potest homo comparatus Deo ? aut apparere mundus natus de muliere ?
ወእፎ፡ ይከውን፡ ጻድቅ፡ ንጹሐ፡ በቅድመ፡ እግዚአብሔር፡ ወመኑ፡ ዘያነጽሕ፡ ርእሶ፡ ዘተወልደ፡ እምአንስት።
How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?
25:5
הֵ֣ן עַד־יָ֭רֵחַ וְלֹ֣א יַאֲהִ֑יל וְ֝כוֹכָבִ֗ים לֹא־זַכּ֥וּ בְעֵינָֽיו׃
εἰ σελήνῃ συντάσσει καὶ οὐκ ἐπιφαύσκει ἄστρα δὲ οὐ καθαρὰ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ
Ecce luna etiam non splendet, et stellae non sunt mundae in conspectu ejus :
ወርኅኒ፡ ይትኀባእኑ፡ ወኢያበርህኑ፡ ወከዋክብትኒ፡ ኢኮኑ፡ ንጹሐነ፡ በቅድሜሁ፡ ኅድግሰ፡ ሰብአ፡ መዋቴ፡ ወዕፄያተ፡ ወእጓለ፡ እመሕያው፡ በድን።
Behold, even the moon has no brightness, and the stars are not pure in his sight;
25:6
אַ֭ף כִּֽי־אֱנ֣וֹשׁ רִמָּ֑ה וּבֶן־אָ֝דָ֗ם תּוֹלֵעָֽה׃ {פ}
ἔα δέ ἄνθρωπος σαπρία καὶ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου σκώληξ
quanto magis homo putredo, et filius hominis vermis ?
—
How much less man, who is a worm, and the son of man, who is a worm!”
