Job 26
1 But Job answered and said,
Bvt Iob answered, and sayde,
2 To whom do you attach yourself, or whom are you going to assist? is it not he that [has] much strength, and [he] who has a strong arm?
Whom helpest thou? him that hath no power? sauest thou the arme that hath no strength?
3 To whom have you given counsel? is it not to him who has all wisdom? whom will you follow? is it not one who has the greatest power?
Whome counsellest thou? him that hath no wisedome? thou shewest right well as the thing is.
4 To whom have you uttered words? and whose breath is it that has come forth from you?
To whom doest thou declare these words? or whose spirit commeth out of thee?
5 Shall giants be born from under the water and the inhabitants thereof?
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 wind upon nothing, and he upon nothing hangs the earth;
He stretcheth out the North ouer the emptie place, and hangeth the earth vpon nothing.
8 binding water in his clouds, and the cloud is not tore under it.
He bindeth the waters in his cloudes, and the cloude is not broken vnder them.
9 He keeps back the face of his throne, stretching out his cloud upon it.
He holdeth backe the face of his throne: and spreadeth his cloude vpon it.
10 He has encompassed the face of the water by an appointed ordinance, until the end of light and darkness.
He hath set bounds about the waters, vntil the day and night come to an ende.
11 The pillars of heaven are prostrate and astonished at his rebuke.
The pillars of heauen tremble and quake at his reproofe.
12 He has calmed the sea with [his] might, and by [his] wisdom the whale has been overthrown.
The sea is calme by his power, and by his vnderstanding he smiteth the pride thereof.
13 And the barriers of heaven fear him, and by a command he has slain the apostate dragon.
His Spirite hath garnished the heauens, and his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
14 Behold, these are parts of his way; and we will listen to him at the least intimation of his word: but the strength of his thunder who knows, when he shall employ [it]?
Loe, these are part of his wayes: but how litle a portion heare we of him? and who can vnderstand his fearefull power?
