Job 25

1 Forsothe Baldach Suytes answeride, and seide,

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, 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 maketh 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 doth not His light 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 that is born of a woman?

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

Behold, even the moon hath 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, that is a worm! and the son of man, that is a maggot!
