< Job 25 >

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite made answer and said,
Forsothe Baldach Suytes answeride, and seide,
2 Rule and power are his; he makes peace in his high places.
Power and drede is anentis hym, that is, God, that makith acordyng in hise hiye thingis.
3 Is it possible for his armies to be numbered? and on whom is not his light shining?
Whether noumbre is of hise knyytis? and on whom schyneth not his liyt?
4 How then is it possible for man to be upright before God? or how may he be clean who is a son of woman?
Whether a man comparisound to God mai be iustified, ether borun of a womman mai appere cleene?
5 See, even the moon is not bright, and the stars are not clean in his eyes:
Lo! also the moone schyneth not, and sterris ben not cleene in `his siyt;
6 How much less man who is an insect, and the son of man who is a worm!
hou miche more a man rot, and the sone of a man a worm, is vncleene `and vile, if he is comparisound to God.
