Job

Chapter 26

1 THEN Job answered and said,

2 Why do you try to help him who is powerless? Why do you try to save the arm that has no strength?

3 How have you counselled him who has no wisdom? And how have you expounded so many doctrines?

4 To whom have you uttered words? And whose soul has come forth from you?

5 Behold, the mighty men shall be slain, and they shall lie down quieter than still waters.

6 Sheol is naked before him, and destruction has no covering.

7 He stretches out the north from the empty place, and hangs the earth upon nothing.

8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.

9 He holds fast the covering of the firmament, and spreads his cloud upon it.

10 He has circled the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.

11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.

12 He rebukes the sea with his power, and by his wisdom he saves many.

13 By his spirit he manages the heavens; his hand slew the fleeing serpent.

14 Lo, these are merely parts of his ways; and what evil thing have we heard against him? And the greatness of his might who can understand?

1 But Job347 answered6030 and said,559

2 How4100 have you helped5826 him that is without3808 power?3581 how save3467 you the arm2220 that has no3808 strength?5797

3 How4100 have you counceled3289 him that has no3808 wisdom?2451 and how have you plentifully7230 declared3045 the thing as it is?

4 To whom4310 have you uttered5046 words?4405 and whose4310 spirit5397 came3318 from you?

5 Dead7496 things are formed2342 from under8478 the waters,4325 and the inhabitants7934 thereof.

6 Hell7585 is naked6174 before5048 him, and destruction11 has no369 covering.3682

7 He stretches5186 out the north6828 over5921 the empty8414 place,8414 and hangs8518 the earth776 on nothing.1099

8 He binds6887 up the waters4325 in his thick clouds;5645 and the cloud6051 is not rent1234 under5921 them.

9 He holds270 back the face6440 of his throne,3678 and spreads6576 his cloud6051 on it.

10 He has compassed2328 the waters4325 with bounds,2706 until5704 the day216 and night2822 come to an end.8503

11 The pillars5982 of heaven8064 tremble7322 and are astonished8539 at his reproof.1606

12 He divides7280 the sea3220 with his power,3581 and by his understanding8394 he smites4272 through the proud.7293

13 By his spirit7307 he has garnished8235 the heavens;8064 his hand3027 has formed2342 the crooked1281 serpent.5175

14 See,2005 these428 are parts7098 of his ways:1870 but how4100 little8102 a portion1697 is heard8085 of him? but the thunder7482 of his power1369 who4310 can understand?995
