Job 26
1 Then Job answered and said:
Bvt Iob answered, and sayde,
2 How hast thou helped him that is without power! How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!
Whom helpest thou? him that hath no power? sauest thou the arme that hath no strength?
3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
Whome counsellest thou? him that hath no wisedome? thou shewest right well as the thing is.
4 With whose help hast thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?
To whom doest thou declare these words? or whose spirit commeth out of thee?
5 The shades tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.
The dead things are formed vnder the waters, and neere vnto them.
The graue is naked before him, and there is no couering for destruction. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth over nothing.
He stretcheth out the North ouer the emptie place, and hangeth the earth vpon nothing.
8 He bindeth up the waters in His thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
He bindeth the waters in his cloudes, and the cloude is not broken vnder them.
9 He closeth in the face of His throne, and spreadeth His cloud upon it.
He holdeth backe the face of his throne: and spreadeth his cloude vpon it.
10 He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.
He hath set bounds about the waters, vntil the day and night come to an ende.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at His rebuke.
The pillars of heauen tremble and quake at his reproofe.
12 He stirreth up the sea with His power, and by His understanding He smiteth through Rahab.
The sea is calme by his power, and by his vnderstanding he smiteth the pride thereof.
13 By His breath the heavens are serene; His hand hath pierced the slant serpent.
His Spirite hath garnished the heauens, and his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
14 Lo, these are but the outskirts of His ways; and how small a whisper is heard of Him! But the thunder of His mighty deeds who can understand?
Loe, these are part of his wayes: but how litle a portion heare we of him? and who can vnderstand his fearefull power?
