Job 26

"

How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?

"
"

How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?

"
"

To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?

"
"

Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.

"
"

Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.

"
"

He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

"
"

He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.

"
"

He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.

"
"

He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.

"
"

The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.

"
"

He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.

"
"

By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

"
"

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?

"
