Job 26

1But 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?
