< Job 25 >

1 And Bildad the Shuhite answers and says:
Forsothe Baldach Suytes answeride, and seide,
2 “The rule and fear [are] with Him, Making peace in His high places.
Power and drede is anentis hym, that is, God, that makith acordyng in hise hiye thingis.
3 Is their [any] number to His troops? And on whom does His light not arise?
Whether noumbre is of hise knyytis? and on whom schyneth not his liyt?
4 And what? Is man righteous with God? And what? Is he pure—born of a woman?
Whether a man comparisound to God mai be iustified, ether borun of a womman mai appere cleene?
5 Behold—to the moon, and it does not shine, And stars have not been pure in His eyes.
Lo! also the moone schyneth not, and sterris ben not cleene in `his siyt;
6 How much less man—a grub, And the son of man—a worm!”
hou miche more a man rot, and the sone of a man a worm, is vncleene `and vile, if he is comparisound to God.
