Job 25

1 Forsothe Baldach Suytes answeride, and seide,

Then Baldad the Suhite answered by saying:

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

Power and terror are with him that makes a pact with those in high places.

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

Is there any limit to the number of his soldiers or to the number of those over whom his light rises?

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

Is it right for man to compare himself to God, or to appear pure though he is born of woman?

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

Behold, even the moon is not radiant, 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.

Is man much more than rottenness and the son of man much more than worms?
