Job 26
1 Bvt Iob answered, and sayde,
And Job answers and says:
2 Whom helpest thou? him that hath no power? sauest thou the arme that hath no strength?
“How you have helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
3 Whome counsellest thou? him that hath no wisedome? thou shewest right well as the thing is.
How you have given counsel to the unwise, And made known wise plans in abundance.
4 To whom doest thou declare these words? or whose spirit commeth out of thee?
With whom have you declared words? And whose breath came forth from you?
5 The dead things are formed vnder the waters, and neere vnto them.
The Rephaim are formed, Also their inhabitants beneath the waters.
Sheol [is] naked before Him, And there is no covering to destruction. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretcheth out the North ouer the emptie place, and hangeth the earth vpon nothing.
Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth on nothing,
8 He bindeth the waters in his cloudes, and the cloude is not broken vnder them.
Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not burst under them.
9 He holdeth backe the face of his throne: and spreadeth his cloude vpon it.
Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading His cloud over it.
10 He hath set bounds about the waters, vntil the day and night come to an ende.
He has placed a limit on the waters, To the boundary of light with darkness.
11 The pillars of heauen tremble and quake at his reproofe.
Pillars of the heavens tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
12 The sea is calme by his power, and by his vnderstanding he smiteth the pride thereof.
By His power He has quieted the sea, And by His understanding struck the proud.
13 His Spirite hath garnished the heauens, and his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
He beautified the heavens by His Spirit, His hand has 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?
Behold, these [are] the borders of His way, and how little a matter is heard of Him, and who understands the thunder of His might?”
