Job 26
1 Bvt Iob answered, and sayde,
Then answered Job, and said,
2 Whom helpest thou? him that hath no power? sauest thou the arme that hath no strength?
What assistance hast thou given to the powerless? [how] hast thou helped the arm without strength?
3 Whome counsellest thou? him that hath no wisedome? thou shewest right well as the thing is.
How hast thou counselled the unwise? and what sound wisdom hast thou made known so plentifully?
4 To whom doest thou declare these words? or whose spirit commeth out of thee?
To whom hast thou told words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5 The dead things are formed vnder the waters, and neere vnto them.
The departed are called into being beneath the waters, and their inhabitants.
Naked is the nether world before him, and there is no covering for the place of corruption. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretcheth out the North ouer the emptie place, and hangeth the earth vpon nothing.
He stretched out the north over empty space; he suspended the earth on nothing;
8 He bindeth the waters in his cloudes, and the cloude is not broken vnder them.
He bound up the waters in his clouds; and the cloud bursteth not under their weight;
9 He holdeth backe the face of his throne: and spreadeth his cloude vpon it.
He closed up the surface of his throne, spreading over it his cloud;
10 He hath set bounds about the waters, vntil the day and night come to an ende.
A fixed limit he compassed off over the face of the waters, for the division of the light and darkness.
11 The pillars of heauen tremble and quake at his reproofe.
The pillars of heaven tremble greatly, and are astounded at his rebuke.
12 The sea is calme by his power, and by his vnderstanding he smiteth the pride thereof.
By his power he split in pieces the sea, and by his understanding he crushed [its] pride:
13 His Spirite hath garnished the heauens, and his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
By his breath the heavens [acquired] beauty; his hand hath created the flying 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 ends of his ways; for how slight a whisper is heard [by us] of him! but the thunder of his mighty deeds who can understand?
