Job 26

26But Job answered and said,

²How hast thou helped him that is without power?

How savest thou the arm that hath no strength?

³How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom?

And how hast thou plentifully declared ^athe thing as it is?

⁴To whom hast thou uttered words?

And whose spirit came from thee?

^5bDead things ^care formed

From under the waters, ^||and the inhabitants thereof.

^6dHell is naked before him,

And ^edestruction hath no covering.

^7fHe stretcheth out the north over ^gthe empty place,

And hangeth the earth upon nothing.

⁸He ^hbindeth up the waters in his thick clouds;

And the cloud is not rent under them.

⁹He holdeth back the face of his throne,

And ⁱspreadeth his cloud upon it.

¹⁰He ^jhath compassed the waters with ^kbounds,

^†Until the day and night come to an end.

^11lThe pillars of heaven tremble

And are astonished at his reproof.

^12mHe divideth the sea with his power,

And by his understanding he smiteth through ^†the proud.

¹³By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens;

His hand ^chath formed ⁿthe crooked serpent.

¹⁴Lo, these are parts of his ⁿⁿways:

But how ^olittle a portion is heard ^pof him?

But the thunder of his power who can understand?
