< Job 25 >
1 Forsothe Baldach Suytes answeride, and seide,
Then Bildad the Shuhite answered, and said,
2 Power and drede is anentis hym, that is, God, that makith acordyng in hise hiye thingis.
Dominion and fear are with him. He makes peace in his high places.
3 Whether noumbre is of hise knyytis? and on whom schyneth not his liyt?
Is there any number of his armies? And upon whom does his light not arise?
4 Whether a man comparisound to God mai be iustified, ether borun of a womman mai appere cleene?
How then can man be just with God? Or how can he be clean who is born of a woman?
5 Lo! also the moone schyneth not, and sterris ben not cleene in `his siyt;
Behold, even the moon has no brightness. And the stars are not pure in his sight.
6 hou miche more a man rot, and the sone of a man a worm, is vncleene `and vile, if he is comparisound to God.
How much less man, who is a worm! And the son of man, who is a worm!
