(KJV) Job 261
| << Job 25 | Job 27 >> |
⥃Job: Who Can Understand God’s Majesty?
[1] But Job answered and said, [2] How hast thou2 helped3 [him that is] without power? [how] savest thou the arm [that hath] no strength? [3] How hast thou counselled4 [him that hath] no wisdom? and [how] hast thou plentifully5 declared the thing as it is? [4] To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit6 came from thee? [5] Dead [things7] are formed from under the waters, and8 the inhabitants thereof. [6] Hell9 [is] naked before him, and destruction10 hath no covering. [7] He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, [and] hangeth the earth upon nothing.11 [8] He bindeth up12 the waters in his thick clouds13; and the cloud14 is not rent under them. [9] He holdeth back the face of his throne, [and] spreadeth his cloud upon it.15 [10] He hath compassed16 the waters with bounds, until17 the day and night come to an end18. [11] The pillars19 of heaven tremble and are astonished20 at his reproof. [12] He divideth21 the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth22 through the proud23. [13] By his spirit24 he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent25. [14] Lo, these [are] parts of his ways: but how little26 a portion is heard of him? but the thunder27 of his power who can understand?
