Job 26
1 Forsothe Joob answeride, and seide, Whos helpere art thou?
But Job answered and said,
2 whether `of the feble, and susteyneste the arm of hym, which is not strong?
To whom dost thou attach thyself, or whom art thou going to assist? is it not he that [has] much strength, and [he] who has a strong arm?
3 To whom hast thou youe counsel? In hap to hym that hath not wisdom; and thou hast schewid ful myche prudence.
To whom hast thou given counsel? is it not to him who has all wisdom? whom wilt thou follow? is it not one who has the greatest power?
4 Ether whom woldist thou teche? whether not hym, that made brething?
To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose breath is it that has come forth from thee?
5 Lo! giauntis weilen vnder watris, and thei that dwellen with hem.
Shall giants be born from under the water and the inhabitants thereof?
Hell is naked before him, and destruction has no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 Which God stretchith forth the north on voide thing, and hangith the erthe on nouyt.
He stretches out the north wind upon nothing, and he upon nothing hangs the earth;
8 `Which God byndith watris in her cloudis, that tho breke not out togidere dounward.

9 `Whych God holdith the cheer of his seete, and spredith abrood theron his cloude.

10 He hath cumpassid a terme to watris, til that liyt and derknessis be endid.

11 The pilers of heuene tremblen, and dreden at his wille.

And the barriers of heaven fear him, and by a command he has slain the apostate dragon.
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?
Behold, these are parts of his way; and we will hearken to him at the least intimation of his word: but the strength of his thunder who knows, when he shall employ [it]?
