Job 26
1 But Job answered and said,
And Job answered and said,
2 How have you helped him that is without power? how save you the arm that has no strength?
How hast thou helped the powerless; how saved the arm that is without strength!
3 How have you counceled him that has no wisdom? and how have you plentifully declared the thing as it is?
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and abundantly declared the thing as it is!
4 To whom have you uttered words? and whose spirit came from you?
For whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
The shades tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof;
Sheol is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretches out the north over the empty place, and hangs the earth on nothing.
He stretcheth out the north over empty space, he hangeth the earth upon nothing;
8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not rent under them.
9 He holds back the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
He covereth the face of his throne, he spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10 He has compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
He hath traced a fixed circle over the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
The pillars of the heavens tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
12 He divides the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smites through the proud.
He stirreth up the sea by his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.
13 By his spirit he has garnished the heavens; his hand has formed the crooked serpent.
By his Spirit the heavens are adorned; his hand hath formed the fleeing serpent.
14 See, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
Lo, these are the borders of his ways; but what a whisper of a word do we hear of him! And the thunder of his power, who can understand?
