“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 counselled [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?” (Job 26:1-14 AV)
