Job

Chapter 26

  • 1

    But Job answered and said,

  • 2

    How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?

  • 3

    How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?

  • 4

    To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?

  • 5

    Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.

  • 6

    Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.

  • 7

    He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

  • 8

    He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.

  • 9

    He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.

  • 10

    He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.

  • 11

    The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.

  • 12

    He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.

  • 13

    By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

  • 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?
