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?
