< Job 25 >

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
Forsothe Baldach Suytes answeride, and seide,
2 "Dominion and fear are with him. He makes peace in his high places.
Power and drede is anentis hym, that is, God, that makith acordyng in hise hiye thingis.
3 Can his armies be counted? On whom does his light not 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 who is born of a woman be clean?
Whether a man comparisound to God mai be iustified, ether borun of a womman mai appere cleene?
5 Look, even the moon has 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, who is a worm, the son of man, who is 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.
