Job 26
1 Bvt Iob answered, and sayde,
And 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 the powerless; how saved the arm that is without 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 abundantly declared the thing as it is!
4 To whom doest thou declare these words? or whose spirit commeth out of thee?
For whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5 The dead things are formed vnder the waters, and neere vnto 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 stretcheth out the North ouer the emptie place, and hangeth the earth vpon nothing.
He stretcheth out the north over empty space, he 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 covereth the face of his throne, he spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10 He hath set bounds about the waters, vntil the day and night come to an ende.
He hath traced a fixed circle over the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.
11 The pillars of heauen tremble and quake at his reproofe.
The pillars of the heavens 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 by 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 adorned; his hand hath formed the fleeing 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 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?
