Job 26
1 Forsothe Joob answeride, and seide, Whos helpere art thou?
Then Job answered:
2 whether `of the feble, and susteyneste the arm of hym, which is not strong?
“How you have helped the powerless and saved the arm that is feeble!
3 To whom hast thou youe counsel? In hap to hym that hath not wisdom; and thou hast schewid ful myche prudence.
How you have counseled the unwise and provided fully sound insight!
4 Ether whom woldist thou teche? whether not hym, that made brething?
To whom have you uttered these words? And whose spirit spoke through you?
5 Lo! giauntis weilen vnder watris, and thei that dwellen with hem.
The dead tremble— those beneath the waters and those who dwell in them.
Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 Which God stretchith forth the north on voide thing, and hangith the erthe on nouyt.
He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth upon nothing.
8 `Which God byndith watris in her cloudis, that tho breke not out togidere dounward.
He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight.
9 `Whych God holdith the cheer of his seete, and spredith abrood theron his cloude.
He covers the face of the full moon, spreading over it His cloud.
10 He hath cumpassid a terme to watris, til that liyt and derknessis be endid.
He has inscribed a horizon on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.
11 The pilers of heuene tremblen, and dreden at his wille.
The foundations of heaven quake, astounded at His rebuke.
12 In the strengthe of hym the sees weren gaderid togidere sudeynly, and his prudence smoot the proude.
By His power He stirred the sea; by His understanding He shattered Rahab.
13 His spiryt ournede heuenes, and the crokid serpent was led out bi his hond, ledynge out as a mydwijf ledith out a child.
By His breath the skies were cleared; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
14 Lo! these thingis ben seid in partie of `hise weyes; and whanne we han herd vnnethis a litil drope of his word, who may se the thundur of his greetnesse?
Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways; how faint is the whisper we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His power?”
