Job 26
1 But Job answered and said,
Forsothe Joob answeride, and seide, Whos helpere art thou?
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?
whether `of the feble, and susteyneste the arm of hym, which is not strong?
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?
To whom hast thou youe counsel? In hap to hym that hath not wisdom; and thou hast schewid ful myche prudence.
4 To whom have you uttered words? and whose breath is it that has come forth from you?
Ether whom woldist thou teche? whether not hym, that made brething?
5 Shall giants be born from under the water and the inhabitants thereof?
Lo! giauntis weilen vnder watris, and thei that dwellen with hem.
Helle is nakid bifor hym, and noon hilyng is to perdicioun. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretches out the north wind upon nothing, and he upon nothing hangs the earth;
Which God stretchith forth the north on voide thing, and hangith the erthe on nouyt.
8 binding water in his clouds, and the cloud is not tore under it.
`Which God byndith watris in her cloudis, that tho breke not out togidere dounward.
9 He keeps back the face of his throne, stretching out his cloud upon it.
`Whych God holdith the cheer of his seete, and spredith abrood theron his cloude.
10 He has encompassed the face of the water by an appointed ordinance, until the end of light and darkness.
He hath cumpassid a terme to watris, til that liyt and derknessis be endid.
11 The pillars of heaven are prostrate and astonished at his rebuke.
The pilers of heuene tremblen, and dreden at his wille.
12 He has calmed the sea with [his] might, and by [his] wisdom the whale has been overthrown.
In the strengthe of hym the sees weren gaderid togidere sudeynly, and his prudence smoot the proude.
13 And the barriers of heaven fear him, and by a command he has slain the apostate dragon.
His spiryt ournede heuenes, and the crokid serpent was led out bi his hond, ledynge out as a mydwijf ledith out a child.
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]?
Lo! these thingis ben seid in partie of `hise weyes; and whanne we han herd vnnethis a litil drope of his word, who may se the thundur of his greetnesse?
