Job 26
1 BUT Job answered and said,
Forsothe Joob answeride, and seide, Whos helpere art thou?
2 How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
whether `of the feble, and susteyneste the arm of hym, which is not strong?
3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
To whom hast thou youe counsel? In hap to hym that hath not wisdom; and thou hast schewid ful myche prudence.
4 To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
Ether whom woldist thou teche? whether not hym, that made brething?
5 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
Lo! giauntis weilen vnder watris, and thei that dwellen with hem.
Helle is nakid bifor hym, and noon hilyng is to perdicioun. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
Which God stretchith forth the north on voide thing, and hangith the erthe on nouyt.
8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
`Which God byndith watris in her cloudis, that tho breke not out togidere dounward.
9 He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
`Whych God holdith the cheer of his seete, and spredith abrood theron his cloude.
10 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
He hath cumpassid a terme to watris, til that liyt and derknessis be endid.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
The pilers of heuene tremblen, and dreden at his wille.
12 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
In the strengthe of hym the sees weren gaderid togidere sudeynly, and his prudence smoot the proude.
13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
His spiryt ournede heuenes, and the crokid serpent was led out bi his hond, ledynge out as a mydwijf ledith out a child.
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?
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?
