CPDV - Job - 26

26:1  Then Job responded by saying:

26:2  Whose assistant are you? Is he weak-minded? And do you sustain the arm of him that is not strong?

26:3  To whom have you given advice? Perhaps it is to him that has no wisdom or prudence that you have revealed your many ideas.

26:4  Who is it that you wanted to teach? Was it not him that created the breath of life?

26:5  Behold, giant things groan under the waters, and they dwell with them.

26:6  The underworld is naked before him, and there is no covering for perdition.

26:7  He stretched out the North over emptiness, and he suspended the land over nothing.

26:8  He secures the waters in his clouds, so that they do not burst forth downward all at once.

26:9  He holds back the face of his throne, and he stretches his cloud over it.

26:10  He has set limits around the waters, until light and darkness shall reach their limit.

26:11  The pillars of heaven tremble and are frightened at his nod.

26:12  By his strength, the seas suddenly gather together, and his foresight has struck the arrogant.

26:13  His spirit has adorned the heavens, and his birthing hand has brought forth the winding serpent.

26:14  Behold, these things have been said about his ways in part, and, since we barely have heard a small drop of his word, who will be able to gaze upon the thunder of his greatness?
