| 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? --
