Job 26
1 But Job answered and said,
2 To whom dost thou attach thyself, or whom art thou going to assist?
is it not he that hath much strength, and he who hath a strong arm?
3 To whom hast thou given counsel? is it not to him who hath all wisdom?
whom wilt thou follow? is it not one who hath the greatest power?
4 To whom hast thou uttered words?
and whose breath is it that hath come forth from thee?
5 Shall giants be born
from under the water and the [1]inhabitants thereof?
6 Hell is naked before him,
and destruction hath no covering.
7 He stretcheth out the north wind upon nothing,
and he upon nothing hangeth the earth;
8 binding water in his clouds,
and the cloud is not rent under it.
9 He keepeth back the face of his throne,
stretching out his cloud upon it.
10 He hath encompassed the face of the water by an appointed ordinance,
until the end of light and darkness.
11 The pillars of heaven are prostrate
and astonished at his rebuke.
12 He hath calmed the sea with his might,
and by his wisdom the whale hath been overthrown.
13 And the barriers of heaven fear him,
and by a command he hath slain the apostate dragon.
14 Behold, these are parts of his way;
and we will hearken to him at the [2]least intimation of his word:
but the strength of his thunder who knoweth, when he shall employ it?
