Noyes - Job - 26

26:1  Then Job answered and said:

26:2  How hast thou helped the weak, And strengthened the feeble arm!

26:3  How hast thou counselled the ignorant, And revealed wisdom in fulness!

26:4  For whom hast thou uttered these words? And whose spirit spake through thee?

26:5  Before Him the shades tremble Beneath the waters and their inhabitants.

26:6  The under-world is naked before him, And destruction is without covering.

26:7  He stretcheth out the north over empty space, And hangeth the earth upon nothing.

26:8  He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds, And the cloud is not rent under them.

26:9  He covereth the face of his throne, And spreadeth his clouds upon it.

26:10  He hath drawn a circular bound upon the waters, To the confines of light and darkness.

26:11  The pillars of heaven tremble And are confounded at his rebuke.

26:12  By his power he stilleth the sea, Yea, by his wisdom he smiteth its pride.

26:13  By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; His hand hath formed the fleeing Serpent.

26:14  Lo! these are but the borders of his works; How faint the whisper we have heard of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?
