Job 25

1 Forsothe Baldach Suytes answeride, and seide,

And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: —

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

The rule and fear [are] with Him, Making peace in His high places.

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

Is their [any] number to His troops? And on whom ariseth not His light?

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

And what? is man righteous with God? And what? is he pure — born of a woman?

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

Lo — unto the moon, and it shineth not, And stars have not been pure in His eyes.

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 grub, And the son of man — a worm!
