Job 26
old testament
- 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?
