Job 26
1 Then responded Job, and said: —
Bvt Iob answered, and sayde,
2 How hast thou given help to one of no-strength? given victory to an arm of no-power?
Whom helpest thou? him that hath no power? sauest thou the arme that hath no strength?
3 How hast thou given counsel to one of no-wisdom? or, effective wisdom, abundantly made known?
Whome counsellest thou? him that hath no wisedome? thou shewest right well as the thing is.
4 Whom hast thou taught speech? Whose inspiration hath come from thee?
To whom doest thou declare these words? or whose spirit commeth out of thee?
5 The shades, tremble, beneath the waters and their inhabitants;
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 Who stretcheth out the north over emptiness, hangeth the earth upon nothingness;
He stretcheth out the North ouer the emptie place, and hangeth the earth vpon nothing.
8 Who bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not rent beneath them;
He bindeth the waters in his cloudes, and the cloude is not broken vnder them.
9 Who shutteth-in the face of the throne, he spreadeth over it his cloud;
He holdeth backe the face of his throne: and spreadeth his cloude vpon it.
10 A, boundary, hath he encircled on the face of the waters, as far as where light ends in darkness;
He hath set bounds about the waters, vntil the day and night come to an ende.
11 The pillars of the heavens, are shaken, and are terrified at his rebuke:
The pillars of heauen tremble and quake at his reproofe.
12 By his strength, hath he excited the sea, and, by his skill, hath he shattered the Crocodile:
The sea is calme by his power, and by his vnderstanding he smiteth the pride thereof.
13 By his spirit, hath he arched the heavens, His hand hath pierced the fleeing serpent.
His Spirite hath garnished the heauens, and his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
14 Lo! these, are the fringes of his way, and what a whisper of a word hath been heard of him! But, the thunder of his might, who could understand?
Loe, these are part of his wayes: but how litle a portion heare we of him? and who can vnderstand his fearefull power?
