| 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 counseled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou abundantly 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 encompassed 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 by 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?
