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?
Whose helper art thou? is it of him that is weak? and dost thou hold up the arm of him that has no strength?
3 Whome counsellest thou? him that hath no wisedome? thou shewest right well as the thing is.
To whom hast thou given counsel? perhaps to him that hath no wisdom, and thou hast shewn thy very great prudence.
4 To whom doest thou declare these words? or whose spirit commeth out of thee?
Whom hast thou desired to teach? was it not him that made life?
5 The dead things are formed vnder the waters, and neere vnto them.
Behold the giants groan under the waters, and they that dwell with them.
Hell is naked before him, and there is no covering for destruction. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretcheth out the North ouer the emptie place, and hangeth the earth vpon nothing.
He stretched out the north over the 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 clouds, so that they break not out and fall down together.
9 He holdeth backe the face of his throne: and spreadeth his cloude vpon it.
He withholdeth the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud over it.
10 He hath set bounds about the waters, vntil the day and night come to an ende.
He hath set bounds about the waters, till light and darkness come to an end.
11 The pillars of heauen tremble and quake at his reproofe.
The pillars of heaven tremble, and dread at his beck.
12 The sea is calme by his power, and by his vnderstanding he smiteth the pride thereof.
By his power the seas are suddenly gathered together, and his wisdom has struck the proud one.
13 His Spirite hath garnished the heauens, and his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
His spirit hath adorned the heavens, and his obstetric hand brought forth the winding 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 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?
