Job 25-26

Job 25

¹Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

²Dominion and fear are with him; he maketh peace in his high places.

³Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?

⁴How then can man be just with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

⁵Behold, even the moon hath no brightness, and the stars are not pure in his sight:

⁶How much less man, that is a worm! and the son of man, which is a worm!

Job 26

¹Then Job answered and said,

²How hast thou helped him that is without power! how hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!

³How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!

⁴To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came forth from thee?

⁵They that are deceased tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.

⁶Sheol is naked before him, and Abaddon hath no covering.

⁷He stretcheth out the north over empty space, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

⁸He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.

⁹He closeth in the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.

¹⁰He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.

¹¹The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.

¹²He stirreth up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.

¹³By his spirit the heavens are garnished; his hand hath pierced the swift serpent.

¹⁴Lo, these are but the outskirts of his ways: and how small a whisper do we hear of him! but the thunder of his power who can understand?
