< Job 25 >

1 Then answered Bildad the Shuchite, and said,
Forsothe Baldach Suytes answeride, and seide,
2 Dominion and dread are with him: he maketh peace in high places.
Power and drede is anentis hym, that is, God, that makith acordyng in hise hiye thingis.
3 Can the number of his hosts be given? and over whom riseth not his light?
Whether noumbre is of hise knyytis? and on whom schyneth not his liyt?
4 How then can man be justified with God? or how can be one that is born of woman?
Whether a man comparisound to God mai be iustified, ether borun of a womman mai appere cleene?
5 Behold, even as regardeth the moon, that is not bright; yea, the stars are not pure in his eyes.
Lo! also the moone schyneth not, and sterris ben not cleene in `his siyt;
6 How much less the mortal, the mere worm? and the son of earth, the mere 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.
