Job

26 Then responded Job and said:—

2 How hast thou given help to one of no-strength? Given victory to an arm of no-power?

3 How hast thou given counsel to one of no-wisdom? Or effective wisdom abundantly made known?

4 Whom hast thou taught speech? Whose inspiration hath come from thee?

5 The shades tremble, Beneath the waters and their inhabitants;

6 Naked is hades before him, And there is no covering to destruction;

7 Who stretcheth out the north over emptiness, Hangeth the earth upon nothingness;

8 Who bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds, And the cloud is not rent beneath them;

9 Who shutteth-in the face of the throne, He spreadeth over it his cloud;

10 A boundary hath he encircled on the face of the waters, As far as where light ends in darkness;

11 The pillars of the heavens are shaken, And are terrified at his rebuke:

12 By his strength hath he excited the sea, And by his skill hath he shattered the Crocodile:

13 By his spirit hath he arched the heavens, His hand hath pierced the fleeing serpent.

14 Lo! these are the fringes of his way And what a whisper of a word hath been heard of him! But the thunder of his might who could understand?
