Job 26

¹But Job answering, said:

²Whose helper are thou? His that is weak? And doest thou hold up the arm of him, that is not strong?

³To whom hast thou given counsel? Perhaps to him, that hath not wisdom, and thy prudence hast thou shewed very great.

⁴Whom wouldest thou teach? Not him that made breath?

⁵Behold the giants groan under the waters, & they that dwell with them.

⁶Hell is naked before him, & there is no covert to perdition.

⁷Who stretcheth out the north-wind over the vacant, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

⁸Who bindeth the waters in his clouds, that they break not forth together downward.

⁹Who holdeth the countenance of his throne, & spreadeth his cloud over it.

¹⁰He hath made a limit about the waters, till light and darkness be ended.

¹¹The pillars of heaven tremble, and dread at his beck.

¹²In his strength suddenly the seas are gathered together, and with his wisdom he struck the proud man.

¹³His spirit hath adorned the heavens & his hand being the mid-wife, the winding serpent is brought forth.

¹⁴Lo, these things are said in part of his ways: and where as we have heard scarce a little drop of his word, who shall be able to behold the thunder of his greatness?
