Job

Chapter 26

26:1
¶ But Job answered and said,
26:2
How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
26:3
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
26:4
To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
26:5
Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
26:6
Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.
26:7
He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
26:8
He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
26:9
He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
26:10
He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
26:11
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
26:12
He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
26:13
By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
26:14
Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
