Job 26
1 Then Job answered and said,
Bvt Iob answered, and sayde,
2 “How you have helped one who has no power! How you have saved the arm that has no strength!
Whom helpest thou? him that hath no power? sauest thou the arme that hath no strength?
3 How you have advised one who has no wisdom and announced to him sound knowledge!
Whome counsellest thou? him that hath no wisedome? thou shewest right well as the thing is.
4 With whose help have you spoken these words? Whose spirit was it that came out from you?
To whom doest thou declare these words? or whose spirit commeth out of thee?
5 The dead are made to tremble, those who are beneath the waters and all who dwell in them.
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 stretches out the northern skies over the empty space, and he hangs the earth over nothing.
He stretcheth out the North ouer the emptie place, and hangeth the earth vpon nothing.
8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, but the clouds are not torn under them.
He bindeth the waters in his cloudes, and the cloude is not broken vnder them.
9 He covers the surface of the moon and spreads his clouds on it.
He holdeth backe the face of his throne: and spreadeth his cloude vpon it.
10 He has engraved a circular boundary on the surface of the waters as the line between 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 calmed the sea with his power; by his understanding he shattered Rahab.
The sea is calme by his power, and by his vnderstanding he smiteth the pride thereof.
13 By his breath he made the skies clear; his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
His Spirite hath garnished the heauens, and his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
14 See, these are but the fringes of his ways; how small a whisper do we hear of him! Who can understand the thunder of his power?”
Loe, these are part of his wayes: but how litle a portion heare we of him? and who can vnderstand his fearefull power?
