Job 26
1 Forsothe Joob answeride, and seide, Whos helpere art thou?
Bvt Iob answered, and sayde,
2 whether `of the feble, and susteyneste the arm of hym, which is not strong?
Whom helpest thou? him that hath no power? sauest thou the arme that hath no strength?
3 To whom hast thou youe counsel? In hap to hym that hath not wisdom; and thou hast schewid ful myche prudence.
Whome counsellest thou? him that hath no wisedome? thou shewest right well as the thing is.
4 Ether whom woldist thou teche? whether not hym, that made brething?
To whom doest thou declare these words? or whose spirit commeth out of thee?
5 Lo! giauntis weilen vnder watris, and thei that dwellen with hem.
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 Which God stretchith forth the north on voide thing, and hangith the erthe on nouyt.
He stretcheth out the North ouer the emptie place, and hangeth the earth vpon nothing.
8 `Which God byndith watris in her cloudis, that tho breke not out togidere dounward.
He bindeth the waters in his cloudes, and the cloude is not broken vnder them.
9 `Whych God holdith the cheer of his seete, and spredith abrood theron his cloude.
He holdeth backe the face of his throne: and spreadeth his cloude vpon it.
10 He hath cumpassid a terme to watris, til that liyt and derknessis be endid.
He hath set bounds about the waters, vntil the day and night come to an ende.
11 The pilers of heuene tremblen, and dreden at his wille.
The pillars of heauen tremble and quake at his reproofe.
12 In the strengthe of hym the sees weren gaderid togidere sudeynly, and his prudence smoot the proude.
The sea is calme by his power, and by his vnderstanding he smiteth the pride thereof.
13 His spiryt ournede heuenes, and the crokid serpent was led out bi his hond, ledynge out as a mydwijf ledith out a child.
His Spirite hath garnished the heauens, and his hand hath formed the crooked 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?
Loe, these are part of his wayes: but how litle a portion heare we of him? and who can vnderstand his fearefull power?
