Job 26

26:1And undertaking, Job says,

26:2To whom do you lie near to, or to whom are you about to help? Is it not the one who has much strength, and whose arm is fortified?

26:3By whom have you been advised, is it not to the one who has all wisdom? or to whom will you follow after, is it not the one who has greatest power?

26:4To whom did you announce words? and whose breath is it that comes forth from you?

26:5Shall giants act as midwife from beneath the water, and for his neighbors?

26:6Hades is naked before him, and there is no wrap-around garment for destruction.

26:7He stretches out the north wind upon nothing, and hangs the earth upon nothing;

26:8binding water in his clouds, and the cloud is not torn underneath it;

26:9holding back the front of his throne, spreading his cloud over it.

26:10By order he made the curvature upon the face of the water till the completion of light with darkness.

26:11The columns of heaven are spread out, and are startled at his reproach.

26:12By strength he rested the sea, and by higher knowledge he spread forth for the whale.

26:13And the bolts of heaven are in awe of him; and by his order he put to death the dragon defector.

26:14Behold, these are the parts of his way; and at the exhalation of his word we hearken to him; and who knows when he will execute the strength of his thunder?
