26 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?
