Job 25 Comparison: Wycliffe Bible (1395) vs King James Version
Job 25
1Forsothe Baldach Suytes answeride, and seide,
2Power and drede is anentis hym, that is, God, that makith acordyng in hise hiye thingis.
3Whether noumbre is of hise knyytis? and on whom schyneth not his liyt?
4Whether a man comparisound to God mai be iustified, ether borun of a womman mai appere cleene?
5Lo! also the moone schyneth not, and sterris ben not cleene in `his siyt;
6hou miche more a man rot, and the sone of a man a worm, is vncleene `and vile, if he is comparisound to God.
Job 25
1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places.
3Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?
4How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
5Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.
6How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?
