KJ3 Literal Translation
Job 26
1 Job, reproving the uncharitable spirit of Bildad, 5 acknowledges the power of God to be unsearchable.
1¶ And Job answered and said:
2How have you helped the powerless, or saved the arm not strong?
3How have you counseled the one not wise or made known an abundance of wisdom?
4With whom have you spoken words? And whose breath came forth from you?
5¶ The departed spirits are made to writhe from beneath the waters, and those residing there.
6Sheol is naked before Him, and the Place of Ruin has no covering.
7He stretched out the north over the empty place, hanging the earth on nothing.
8He binds up the waters in His thick clouds; and the cloud does not burst under them.
9He covers the face of His throne, spreading His cloud over it.
10He has described a circle on the face of the waters to the boundary of light with darkness.
11The pillars of the heavens tremble and are stunned at His rebuke.
12With His power He quiets the sea, and by His understanding He shatters the proud.
13By His Spirit the heavens were beautiful; His hand pierced the fleeing snake.
14Lo, these are the edges of His ways; yea, what a whisper of a word we hear of Him! And the thunder of His might who can understand?
