< Job 26 >

1 Then Job answered, and said:
Bvt Iob answered, and sayde,
2 Whose helper art thou? is it of him that is weak? and dost thou hold up the arm of him that has no strength?
Whom helpest thou? him that hath no power? sauest thou the arme that hath no strength?
3 To whom hast thou given counsel? perhaps to him that hath no wisdom, and thou hast shewn thy very great prudence.
Whome counsellest thou? him that hath no wisedome? thou shewest right well as the thing is.
4 Whom hast thou desired to teach? was it not him that made life?
To whom doest thou declare these words? or whose spirit commeth out of thee?
5 Behold the giants groan under the waters, and they that dwell with them.
The dead things are formed vnder the waters, and neere vnto them.
6 Hell is naked before him, and there is no covering for destruction. (Sheol h7585)
The graue is naked before him, and there is no couering for destruction. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretched out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
He stretcheth out the North ouer the emptie place, and hangeth the earth vpon nothing.
8 He bindeth up the waters in his clouds, so that they break not out and fall down together.
He bindeth the waters in his cloudes, and the cloude is not broken vnder them.
9 He withholdeth the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud over it.
He holdeth backe the face of his throne: and spreadeth his cloude vpon it.
10 He hath set bounds about the waters, till light and darkness come to an end.
He hath set bounds about the waters, vntil the day and night come to an ende.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble, and dread at his beck.
The pillars of heauen tremble and quake at his reproofe.
12 By his power the seas are suddenly gathered together, and his wisdom has struck the proud one.
The sea is calme by his power, and by his vnderstanding he smiteth the pride thereof.
13 His spirit hath adorned the heavens, and his obstetric hand brought forth the winding serpent.
His Spirite hath garnished the heauens, and his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
14 Lo, these things are said in part of his ways: and seeing we have heard scarce a little drop of his word, who shall be able to behold the thunder of his greatness?
Loe, these are part of his wayes: but how litle a portion heare we of him? and who can vnderstand his fearefull power?
