Job 26

1 But Job answered and said,

2 How hast thou ¹helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?

3 How hast ¹thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and ²how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?

4 ¹To whom hast thou uttered words? and ²whose spirit came from thee?

5 ¹Dead things are formed from under the waters, ^aand the inhabitants thereof.

6 ¹Hell is naked before him, and ²destruction hath no covering.

7 He ¹stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

8 He ¹bindeth up the waters in ²his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.

9 He ¹holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.

10 He ¹hath compassed the waters with bounds, ^auntil the day and night come to an end.

11 The ¹pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.

12 He ¹divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the ^aproud.

13 By ¹his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed ²the crooked serpent.

14 Lo, these are parts of his ways: but ¹how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
