| Chapter 26 |
1 |
Then Job answered and said, --
|
2 |
How hast thou helped him that is without power! How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength! --
|
3 |
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, And plentifully declared sound knowledge! --
|
4 |
To whom hast thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee? --
|
5 |
They that are deceased tremble Beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof. --
|
6 |
Sheol is naked before [God], And Abaddon hath no covering. --
|
7 |
He stretcheth out the north over empty space, 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 incloseth the face of his throne, And spreadeth his cloud upon it. --
|
10 |
He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, Unto the confines of light and darkness. --
|
11 |
The pillars of heaven tremble And are astonished at his rebuke. --
|
12 |
He stirreth up the sea with his power, And by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab. --
|
13 |
By his Spirit the heavens are garnished; His hand hath pierced the swift serpent. --
|
14 |
Lo, these are but the outskirts of his ways: And how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand? --
