The Book of Job

Chapter-26

Job 26:1 Then Job responded by saying:

Job 26:2 Whose assistant are you? Is he weak-minded? And do you sustain the arm of him that is not strong?

Job 26:3 To whom have you given advice? Perhaps it is to him that has no wisdom or prudence that you have revealed your many ideas.

Job 26:4 Who is it that you wanted to teach? Was it not him that created the breath of life?

Job 26:5 Behold, giant things groan under the waters, and they dwell with them.

Job 26:6 The underworld is naked before him, and there is no covering for perdition.

Job 26:7 He stretched out the North over emptiness, and he suspended the land over nothing.

Job 26:8 He secures the waters in his clouds, so that they do not burst forth downward all at once.

Job 26:9 He holds back the face of his throne, and he stretches his cloud over it.

Job 26:10 He has set limits around the waters, until light and darkness shall reach their limit.

Job 26:11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are frightened at his nod.

Job 26:12 By his strength, the seas suddenly gather together, and his foresight has struck the arrogant.

Job 26:13 His spirit has adorned the heavens, and his birthing hand has brought forth the winding serpent.

Job 26:14 Behold, these things have been said about his ways in part, and, since we barely have heard a small drop of his word, who will be able to gaze upon the thunder of his greatness?
