Job 26
1 And Job answers and says:
Bvt Iob answered, and sayde,
2 “How you have helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
Whom helpest thou? him that hath no power? sauest thou the arme that hath no strength?
3 How you have given counsel to the unwise, And made known wise plans in abundance.
Whome counsellest thou? him that hath no wisedome? thou shewest right well as the thing is.
4 With whom have you declared words? And whose breath came forth from you?
To whom doest thou declare these words? or whose spirit commeth out of thee?
5 The Rephaim are formed, Also their inhabitants beneath the waters.
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 Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth on nothing,
He stretcheth out the North ouer the emptie place, and hangeth the earth vpon nothing.
8 Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not burst under them.
He bindeth the waters in his cloudes, and the cloude is not broken vnder them.
9 Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading His cloud over it.
He holdeth backe the face of his throne: and spreadeth his cloude vpon it.
10 He has placed a limit on the waters, To the boundary of light with darkness.
He hath set bounds about the waters, vntil the day and night come to an ende.
11 Pillars of the heavens tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
The pillars of heauen tremble and quake at his reproofe.
12 By His power He has quieted the sea, And by His understanding struck the proud.
The sea is calme by his power, and by his vnderstanding he smiteth the pride thereof.
13 He beautified the heavens by His Spirit, His hand has formed the fleeing serpent.
His Spirite hath garnished the heauens, and his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
14 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?”
Loe, these are part of his wayes: but how litle a portion heare we of him? and who can vnderstand his fearefull power?
