Job 26
1 Bvt Iob answered, and sayde,
Then Job answered and said,
2 Whom helpest thou? him that hath no power? sauest thou the arme that hath no strength?
How hast thou helped him that is without power! How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!
3 Whome counsellest thou? him that hath no wisedome? thou shewest right well as the thing is.
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, And plentifully declared sound knowledge!
4 To whom doest thou declare these words? or whose spirit commeth out of thee?
To whom hast thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?
5 The dead things are formed vnder the waters, and neere vnto them.
They that are deceased tremble Beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.
Sheol is naked before [God], And Abaddon hath no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretcheth out the North ouer the emptie place, and hangeth the earth vpon nothing.
He stretcheth out the north over empty space, And hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8 He bindeth the waters in his cloudes, and the cloude is not broken vnder them.
He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; And the cloud is not rent under them.
9 He holdeth backe the face of his throne: and spreadeth his cloude vpon it.
He incloseth the face of his throne, And spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10 He hath set bounds about the waters, vntil the day and night come to an ende.
He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, Unto the confines of light and darkness.
11 The pillars of heauen tremble and quake at his reproofe.
The pillars of heaven tremble And are astonished at his rebuke.
12 The sea is calme by his power, and by his vnderstanding he smiteth the pride thereof.
He stirreth up the sea with his power, And by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.
13 His Spirite hath garnished the heauens, and his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
By his Spirit the heavens are garnished; His hand hath pierced the swift serpent.
14 Loe, these are part of his wayes: but how litle a portion heare we of him? and who can vnderstand his fearefull power?
Lo, these are but the outskirts of his ways: And how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?
