Job 26
1 Bvt Iob answered, and sayde,
And Job answereth and saith: —
2 Whom helpest thou? him that hath no power? sauest thou the arme that hath no strength?
What — thou hast 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.
What — thou hast given counsel to the unwise, And wise plans in abundance made known.
4 To whom doest thou declare these words? or whose spirit commeth out of thee?
With whom hast thou declared words? And whose breath came forth from thee?
5 The dead things are formed vnder the waters, and neere vnto them.
The Rephaim are formed, Beneath the waters, also their inhabitants.
Naked [is] Sheol over-against 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 upon 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 rent 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 over it His cloud.
10 He hath set bounds about the waters, vntil the day and night come to an ende.
A limit He hath placed on the waters, Unto the boundary of light with darkness.
11 The pillars of heauen tremble and quake at his reproofe.
Pillars of the heavens do 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 hath quieted the sea, And by His understanding smitten the proud.
13 His Spirite hath garnished the heauens, and his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
By His Spirit the heavens He beautified, Formed hath His hand 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 way, And how little a matter is heard of Him, And the thunder of His might Who doth understand?
