< Job 25 >
1 Forsothe Baldach Suytes answeride, and seide,
Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
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?
Can his armies be counted? On 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 who is born of a woman be clean?
5 Lo! also the moone schyneth not, and sterris ben not cleene in `his siyt;
Look, 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, the son of man, who is a worm."
