Job 25

1 Forsothe Baldach Suytes answeride, and seide,

Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

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

“Dominion and awe belong to God; He establishes harmony in the heights of heaven.

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

Can His troops be numbered? On whom does His light not rise?

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

How then can a man be just before God? How can one born of woman be pure?

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

If even the moon does not shine, 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 but a maggot, and the son of man, who is but a worm!”
