Job 26 — GNB

26Verse 1Then Job answered and said:^{Verse 2}How hast thou helped the weak, And strengthened the feeble arm!^{Verse 3}How hast thou counselled the ignorant, And revealed wisdom in fulness!^{Verse 4}For whom hast thou uttered these words? And whose spirit spake through thee?^{Verse 5}Before Him the shades tremble Beneath the waters and their inhabitants.^{Verse 6}The under-world is naked before him, And destruction is without covering.^{Verse 7}He stretcheth out the north over empty space, And hangeth the earth upon nothing.^{Verse 8}He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds, And the cloud is not rent under them.^{Verse 9}He covereth the face of his throne, And spreadeth his clouds upon it.^{Verse 10}He hath drawn a circular bound upon the waters, To the confines of light and darkness.^{Verse 11}The pillars of heaven tremble And are confounded at his rebuke.^{Verse 12}By his power he stilleth the sea, Yea, by his wisdom he smiteth its pride.^{Verse 13}By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; His hand hath formed the fleeing Serpent.^{Verse 14}Lo! these are but the borders of his works; How faint the whisper we have heard of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?
