Job 26

Job declares his sentiments of the wisdom and power of God.

⁠
[1]
⁠
Then Job answered, and said:
[2]
⁠
Whose helper art thou? is it of him that is weak? and dost thou hold up the arm of him that has no strength?
[3]
⁠
To whom hast thou given counsel? perhaps to him that hath no wisdom, and thou hast shewn thy very great prudence.
[4]
⁠
Whom hast thou desired to teach? was it not him that made life?
[5]
⁠
Behold the giants groan under the waters, and they that dwell with them.
⁠
[6]
⁠
Hell is naked before him, and there is no covering for destruction.
[7]
⁠
He stretched out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
[8]
⁠
He bindeth up the waters in his clouds, so that they break not out and fall down together.
[9]
⁠
He withholdeth the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud over it.
[10]
⁠
He hath set bounds about the waters, till light and darkness come to an end.
⁠
[11]
⁠
The pillars of heaven tremble, and dread at his beck.
[12]
⁠
By his power the seas are suddenly gathered together, and his wisdom has struck the proud one.
[13]
⁠
His spirit hath adorned the heavens, and his obstetric hand brought forth the winding serpent.
[14]
⁠
Lo, these things are said in part of his ways: and seeing we have heard scarce a little drop of his word, who shall be able to behold the thunder of his greatness?
[13] "His obstetric hand brought forth the winding serpent": That is, the omnipotent power of God: which brought forth all things created in time, but conceived in the Divine mind from all eternity. The winding serpent, a constellation of fixed stars winding round the north pole, called Draco. This appears from the foregoing part of the same verse, His spirit hath adorned the heavens.
