< Job 25 >

1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:
Forsothe Baldach Suytes answeride, and seide,
2 Dominion and fear are with Him; He maketh peace in His high places.
Power and drede is anentis hym, that is, God, that makith acordyng in hise hiye thingis.
3 Is there any number of His armies? And upon whom doth not His light arise?
Whether noumbre is of hise knyytis? and on whom schyneth not his liyt?
4 How then can man be just with God? Or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
Whether a man comparisound to God mai be iustified, ether borun of a womman mai appere cleene?
5 Behold, even the moon hath no brightness, and the stars are not pure in His sight;
Lo! also the moone schyneth not, and sterris ben not cleene in `his siyt;
6 How much less man, that is a worm! and the son of man, that is a maggot!
hou miche more a man rot, and the sone of a man a worm, is vncleene `and vile, if he is comparisound to God.
