Job 26
1 Forsothe Joob answeride, and seide, Whos helpere art thou?
Then Job made answer and said,
2 whether `of the feble, and susteyneste the arm of hym, which is not strong?
How have you given help to him who has no power! how have you been the salvation of the arm which has no strength!
3 To whom hast thou youe counsel? In hap to hym that hath not wisdom; and thou hast schewid ful myche prudence.
How have you given teaching to him who has no wisdom, and fully made clear true knowledge!
4 Ether whom woldist thou teche? whether not hym, that made brething?
To whom have your words been said? and whose spirit came out from you?
5 Lo! giauntis weilen vnder watris, and thei that dwellen with hem.
The shades in the underworld are shaking; the waters and those living in them.
The underworld is uncovered before him, and Destruction has no veil. (Sheol h7585)
7 Which God stretchith forth the north on voide thing, and hangith the erthe on nouyt.
By his hand the north is stretched out in space, and the earth is hanging on nothing.
8 `Which God byndith watris in her cloudis, that tho breke not out togidere dounward.
By him the waters are shut up in his thick clouds, and the cloud does not give way under them.
9 `Whych God holdith the cheer of his seete, and spredith abrood theron his cloude.
By him the face of his high seat is veiled, and his cloud stretched out over it.
10 He hath cumpassid a terme to watris, til that liyt and derknessis be endid.
By him a circle is marked out on the face of the waters, to the limits of the light and the dark.
11 The pilers of heuene tremblen, and dreden at his wille.
The pillars of heaven are shaking, and are overcome by his sharp words.
12 In the strengthe of hym the sees weren gaderid togidere sudeynly, and his prudence smoot the proude.
By his power the sea was made quiet; and by his wisdom Rahab was wounded.
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 wind the heavens become bright: by his hand the quickly moving snake was cut through.
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?
See, these are only the outskirts of his ways; and how small is that which comes to our ears about him! But the thunder of his acts of power is outside all knowledge.
