Job 26
1 Then Job answered:
Bvt Iob answered, and sayde,
2 “How you have helped the powerless and saved the arm that is feeble!
Whom helpest thou? him that hath no power? sauest thou the arme that hath no strength?
3 How you have counseled the unwise and provided fully sound insight!
Whome counsellest thou? him that hath no wisedome? thou shewest right well as the thing is.
4 To whom have you uttered these words? And whose spirit spoke through you?
To whom doest thou declare these words? or whose spirit commeth out of thee?
5 The dead tremble— those beneath the waters and those who dwell in them.
The dead things are formed vnder the waters, and neere vnto them.
The graue is naked before him, and there is no couering for destruction. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth upon nothing.
He stretcheth out the North ouer the emptie place, and hangeth the earth vpon nothing.
8 He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight.
He bindeth the waters in his cloudes, and the cloude is not broken vnder them.
9 He covers the face of the full moon, spreading over it His cloud.
He holdeth backe the face of his throne: and spreadeth his cloude vpon it.
10 He has inscribed a horizon on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.
He hath set bounds about the waters, vntil the day and night come to an ende.
11 The foundations of heaven quake, astounded at His rebuke.
The pillars of heauen tremble and quake at his reproofe.
12 By His power He stirred the sea; by His understanding He shattered Rahab.
The sea is calme by his power, and by his vnderstanding he smiteth the pride thereof.
13 By His breath the skies were cleared; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
His Spirite hath garnished the heauens, and his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
14 Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways; how faint is the whisper we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His power?”
Loe, these are part of his wayes: but how litle a portion heare we of him? and who can vnderstand his fearefull power?
