| Chapter 26 |
1 |
Then Job answered, and said: |
2 |
Whose helper art thou? is it of him that is weak? and dost thou hold up the arm of him that has no strength? |
3 |
To whom hast thou given counsel? perhaps to him that hath no wisdom, and thou hast shewn thy very great prudence. |
4 |
Whom hast thou desired to teach? was it not him that made life? |
5 |
Behold the giants groan under the waters, and they that dwell with them. |
6 |
Hell is naked before him, and there is no covering for destruction. |
7 |
He stretched out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. |
8 |
He bindeth up the waters in his clouds, so that they break not out and fall down together. |
9 |
He withholdeth the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud over it. |
10 |
He hath set bounds about the waters, till light and darkness come to an end. |
11 |
The pillars of heaven tremble, and dread at his beck. |
12 |
By his power the seas are suddenly gathered together, and his wisdom has struck the proud one. |
13 |
His spirit hath adorned the heavens, and his obstetric hand brought forth the winding serpent. |
14 |
Lo, these things are said in part of his ways: and seeing we have heard scarce a little drop of his word, who shall be able to behold the thunder of his greatness? |
