Job 26 — ILT
26Verse 1Then answered Job, and said,Verse 2What assistance hast thou given to the powerless? [how] hast thou helped the arm without strength?Verse 3How hast thou counselled the unwise? and what sound wisdom hast thou made known so plentifully?Verse 4To whom hast thou told words? and whose spirit came from thee?Verse 5The departed are called into being beneath the waters, and their inhabitants.Verse 6Naked is the nether world before him, and there is no covering for the place of corruption.Verse 7He stretched out the north over empty space; he suspended the earth on nothing;Verse 8He bound up the waters in his clouds; and the cloud bursteth not under their weight;Verse 9He closed up the surface of his throne, spreading over it his cloud;Verse 10A fixed limit he compassed off over the face of the waters, for the division of the light and darkness.Verse 11The pillars of heaven tremble greatly, and are astounded at his rebuke.Verse 12By his power he split in pieces the sea, and by his understanding he crushed [its] pride:Verse 13By his breath the heavens [acquired] beauty; his hand hath created the flying serpent.Verse 14Lo, these are ends of his ways; for how slight a whisper is heard [by us] of him! but the thunder of his mighty deeds who can understand?
