< 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 justified 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 to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, 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, which is a worm?
