| Chapter 26 |
1 |
And Job answered and said, --
|
2 |
How hast thou helped the powerless; how saved the arm that is without strength! --
|
3 |
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and abundantly declared the thing as it is! --
|
4 |
For whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee? --
|
5 |
The shades tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof; --
|
6 |
Sheol is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. --
|
7 |
He stretcheth out the north over empty space, he 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 covereth the face of his throne, he spreadeth his cloud upon it. --
|
10 |
He hath traced a fixed circle over the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness. --
|
11 |
The pillars of the heavens tremble and are astonished at his rebuke. --
|
12 |
He stirreth up the sea by his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab. --
|
13 |
By his Spirit the heavens are adorned; his hand hath formed the fleeing serpent. --
|
14 |
Lo, these are the borders of his ways; but what a whisper of a word do we hear of him! And the thunder of his power, who can understand? --
