and may not be teld out. |
We cannot find him worthily:
he is great in strength, and in judgment,
and in justice, and he is ineffable. |

Therfor men schulen drede hym;
and alle men, that semen to hem silf to be wise, schulen not be hardi to biholde. |
Therefore men shall fear him,
and all that seem to themselves to be wise, shall not dare to behold him. |
