Job 26
Job Declares God's
Sovereignty |
1 |
But Job answered and said,
|
2 |
How hast thou helped him that is without power?
|
How savest thou the arm that hath no
strength? |
|
|
3 |
How hast thou counseled him that
hath no wisdom?
|
And how hast thou plentifully declared the
thing as it
is? |
|
|
4 |
To whom hast thou uttered words?
|
And whose spirit came from
thee? |
|
|
5 |
Dead things are formed from under
the waters,
|
and the inhabitants
thereof. |
|
|
6 |
Hell is naked before him,
|
and destruction hath no
covering. |
|
|
7 |
He stretcheth out the north over the
empty place,
|
and hangeth the earth upon
nothing. |
|
|
8 |
He bindeth up the waters in his thick
clouds;
|
and the cloud is not rent under
them. |
|
|
9 |
He holdeth back the face of his
throne,
|
and spreadeth his cloud upon
it. |
|
|
10 |
He hath compassed 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 divideth the sea with his power,
|
and by his understanding he smiteth through the
proud. |
|
|
13 |
By his Spirit he hath garnished the
heavens;
|
his hand hath formed the crooked
serpent. |
|
|
14 |
Lo, these are parts of his
ways;
|
but how little a portion is heard of him? |
But the thunder of his power who can
understand? |
|
