Job 25

1 Then Bildad [also] replied,

Forsothe Baldach Suytes answeride, and seide,

2 “God is very powerful; everyone should have an awesome respect for him; he causes everything to be peaceful high up in heaven.

Power and drede is anentis hym, that is, God, that makith acordyng in hise hiye thingis.

3 (Can anyone count the angels who are in his army [in heaven]?/No one can count the angels who are in his army [in heaven].) [RHQ] (Is there any place where his light does not shine?/There is no place where his light does not shine.) [RHQ]

Whether noumbre is of hise knyytis? and on whom schyneth not his liyt?

4 So, (how can God consider anyone to be righteous?/God certainly cannot consider anyone to be righteous.) [RHQ] (How can any human being be truly pure?/No human being can be truly pure.) [RHQ]

Whether a man comparisound to God mai be iustified, ether borun of a womman mai appere cleene?

5 Consider this: God does not even consider the full moon to be bright, and he does not consider the stars to be spotless.

Lo! also the moone schyneth not, and sterris ben not cleene in `his siyt;

6 So, (what about humans?/he does not consider humans [to be important].) [RHQ] They are [as insignificant as] [MET] maggots. [God does not think more highly of] people [than he thinks of] worms.”

hou miche more a man rot, and the sone of a man a worm, is vncleene `and vile, if he is comparisound to God.
