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 maintaineth peace in his high places.

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

Is there any numbering of his hosts? 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 righteous before? Or how can he be pure that is born of woman?

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

Behold, even the moon, it shineth not; 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, a worm; And the son of man, a reptile!
