The Book of Job 26

Text size

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 ⚑
