The Book of Job
26: 1Then Job answered and said,
26:2How hast thou helped him that is without power!
How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!
26:3How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom,
And plentifully declared sound knowledge!
26:4To whom hast thou uttered words?
And whose spirit came forth from thee?
26:5They that are deceased tremble
Beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.
26:6Sheol is naked before God,
And Abaddon hath no covering.
26:7He stretcheth out the north over empty space,
And hangeth the earth upon nothing.
26:8He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds;
And the cloud is not rent under them.
26:9He incloseth the face of his throne,
And spreadeth his cloud upon it.
26:10He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters,
Unto the confines of light and darkness.
26:11The pillars of heaven tremble
And are astonished at his rebuke.
26:12He stirreth up the sea with his power,
And by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.
26:13By his Spirit the heavens are garnished;
His hand hath pierced the swift serpent.
26:14Lo, 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?
