Job 26
1 Then Job answered, and said:
And Job answered and said,
2 Whose helper art thou? is it of him that is weak? and dost thou hold up the arm of him that has no strength?
How hast thou helped the powerless; how saved the arm that is without strength!
3 To whom hast thou given counsel? perhaps to him that hath no wisdom, and thou hast shewn thy very great prudence.
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and abundantly declared the thing as it is!
4 Whom hast thou desired to teach? was it not him that made life?
For whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5 Behold the giants groan under the waters, and they that dwell with them.
The shades tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof;
Sheol is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretched out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
He stretcheth out the north over empty space, he hangeth the earth upon nothing;
8 He bindeth up the waters in his clouds, so that they break not out and fall down together.
He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not rent under them.
9 He withholdeth the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud over it.
He covereth the face of his throne, he spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10 He hath set bounds about the waters, till light and darkness come to an end.
He hath traced a fixed circle over the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble, and dread at his beck.
The pillars of the heavens tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
12 By his power the seas are suddenly gathered together, and his wisdom has struck the proud one.
He stirreth up the sea by his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.
13 His spirit hath adorned the heavens, and his obstetric hand brought forth the winding serpent.
By his Spirit the heavens are adorned; his hand hath formed the fleeing serpent.
14 Lo, these things are said in part of his ways: and seeing we have heard scarce a little drop of his word, who shall be able to behold the thunder of his greatness?
Lo, these are the borders of his ways; but what a whisper of a word do we hear of him! And the thunder of his power, who can understand?
