Job 26
1 Bvt Iob answered, and sayde,
But Job answered and said,
2 Whom helpest thou? him that hath no power? sauest thou the arme that hath no strength?
To whom dost thou attach thyself, or whom art thou going to assist? is it not he that [has] much strength, and [he] who has a strong arm?
3 Whome counsellest thou? him that hath no wisedome? thou shewest right well as the thing is.
To whom hast thou given counsel? is it not to him who has all wisdom? whom wilt thou follow? is it not one who has the greatest power?
4 To whom doest thou declare these words? or whose spirit commeth out of thee?
To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose breath is it that has come forth from thee?
5 The dead things are formed vnder the waters, and neere vnto them.
Shall giants be born from under the water and the inhabitants thereof?
Hell is naked before him, and destruction has no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretcheth out the North ouer the emptie place, and hangeth the earth vpon nothing.
He stretches out the north wind upon nothing, and he upon nothing hangs the earth;
8 He bindeth the waters in his cloudes, and the cloude is not broken vnder them.
binding water in his clouds, and the cloud is not rent under it.
9 He holdeth backe the face of his throne: and spreadeth his cloude vpon it.
He keeps back the face of his throne, stretching out his cloud upon it.
10 He hath set bounds about the waters, vntil the day and night come to an ende.
He has encompassed the face of the water by an appointed ordinance, until the end of light and darkness.
11 The pillars of heauen tremble and quake at his reproofe.
The pillars of heaven are prostrate and astonished at his rebuke.
12 The sea is calme by his power, and by his vnderstanding he smiteth the pride thereof.
He has calmed the sea with [his] might, and by [his] wisdom the whale has been overthrown.
13 His Spirite hath garnished the heauens, and his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
And the barriers of heaven fear him, and by a command he has slain the apostate dragon.
14 Loe, these are part of his wayes: but how litle a portion heare we of him? and who can vnderstand his fearefull power?
Behold, these are parts of his way; and we will hearken to him at the least intimation of his word: but the strength of his thunder who knows, when he shall employ [it]?
