Job 26 — BST
26Verse 1But Job answered and said,Verse 2To 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 3To 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 4To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose breath is it that has come forth from thee?Verse 5Shall giants be born from under the water and the inhabitants thereof?Verse 6Hell is naked before him, and destruction has no covering.Verse 7He stretches out the north wind upon nothing, and he upon nothing hangs the earth;Verse 8binding water in his clouds, and the cloud is not rent under it.Verse 9He keeps back the face of his throne, stretching out his cloud upon it.Verse 10He has encompassed the face of the water by an appointed ordinance, until the end of light and darkness.Verse 11The pillars of heaven are prostrate and astonished at his rebuke.Verse 12He has calmed the sea with his might, and by his wisdom the whale has been overthrown.Verse 13And the barriers of heaven fear him, and by a command he has slain the apostate dragon.Verse 14Behold, 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?
