Job 26

2Whom dost thou assist, or whom art thou going to help? Is it not Him, Who hath mighty power and Whose arm is strong?

3For whom hast thou been acting as counsellor? Is it not for Him Who hath all wisdom? Whom art thou about to follow? Is it not Him, Whose army is beyond compare?

4For whom hast thou announced dictates? And whose breath is it which proceeded from thee?

5Are giants going to rise up from beneath the water and the places in its neighbourhood?

6The mansion of the dead is naked before Him: and destruction hath no covering.

8Who bindeth up water in His clouds, and the cloud under it is not rent—

9Who taketh possession of the front of His throne and over it spreadeth His cloud.

10His decree had drawn a circle on the face of the water, at the confines of light and darkness.

11The pillars of heaven flutter and are struck with consternation at His rebuke.

12By Power He calmed the sea; and by Wisdom the sea-monster was overthrown.

13The bars of heaven were terrified at Him; and by a decree He doomed to death the apostate dragon.
