[2] The king of Olympus, who dwells in the highest halls, holds sway over all with his might, and rules over all, and is a lord and high-counsellor, and a deviser of fear, and sits alone unmoved upon lofty thrones, and under peace governs the whole host of the heavenly ones.

Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Βαλσὰς ὁ Σαυχίτης λέγει

Τί γὰρ προοίμιον ἥ φόβος ὁ παρʼ αὐτοῦ,

ὁ ποιῶν τὴν σύμπασον ἐν ύψίστῳ;

μὴ γάρ τισ ὑπολάβοι ὅτι ἐστὶν παρέλκυσις πειραταῖς;

ἔπὶ τίνας δὲ οὐκ ἐπελεύσεται ἕναντι Κυρίου;

πῶς υὰρ ἔσται δίκαιος βροτὸς ἔναντι κυρίου;

ἢ τίς ἂν ἀποκαθαρίσαι αὺτὸν γεννητὸς γυναικός;

ἦ σελήνῃ συντάσσει, καὶ οὐκ έπιφαύσκει·

ἄστρα δὲ οὐ καθαρὰ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ.

ἔα δέ, ἄνθρωπος σαπρία καὶ υίὸς ἀνθρώπου ακώληξ.

Ὀλύμπου βασιλεύς, ὃς ὑπέρτατα δώματα ναίει,

Πάντων μὲν κρατέει μένος, πάντεσσι δ' ἀνάσσει,

Κοίρανος ὑψιμέδων τε πέλει, μήστωρ τε φόβοιο,

Οἷος δ' ἄτρεμας ἧσται ἐφ' ὑψηλοῖσι θρόνοισι,

Πάντα δ' ὑπ' εἰρήνῃ διέπει στρατὸν οὐρανιώνων.

Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,

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

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

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

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

How much less man, who is a worm! The son of man, who is a worm!

Cœli rex, qui ſupremas domos incolit,

Omnes quidem ſuperat ſolus, omnibúſ q; que imperat,

Princeps altipoténſ q; que eſt, dúxque terroris,

Solus verò quietè ſedet ſuper excelſum thronum,

Omnémque in pace regit exercitum cœlicolarum.
