Job 26 · King James Bible · Scriptures (Good Books Free)

¶ 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?
