Job 26 — UBES

26Verse 1But Job answered and said,^{Verse 2}To whom dost thou attach thyself, or whom art thou going to assist?
Is it not he that has much strength, and he who has a strong arm?
^{Verse 3}To whom hast thou given counsel? is it not to him who has all wisdom?
Whom wilt thou follow? is it not one who has the greatest power?
^{Verse 4}To whom hast thou uttered words?
And whose breath is it that has come forth from thee?^{Verse 5}Shall giants be born
From under the water and the inhabitants thereof?
^{Verse 6}Hell is naked before him,
And destruction has no covering.
^{Verse 7}He stretches out the north wind upon nothing,
And he upon nothing hangs the earth;
^{Verse 8}Binding water in his clouds,
And the cloud is not rent under it.
^{Verse 9}He keeps back the face of his throne,
Stretching out his cloud upon it.
^{Verse 10}He has encompassed the face of the water by an appointed ordinance,
Until the end of light and darkness.
^{Verse 11}The pillars of heaven are prostrate
And astonished at his rebuke.
^{Verse 12}He has calmed the sea with his might,
And by his wisdom the whale has been overthrown.
^{Verse 13}And the barriers of heaven fear him,
And by a command he has slain the apostate dragon.
^{Verse 14}Behold, these are parts of his way;
And we will hearken to him at the least intimation of his word:
But the strength of his thunder who knows, when he shall employ it?
