Job 26

KING JAMES BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 But Job answered and said,	1 Then Job answered, and said:
2 How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?	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 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?	3 To whom hast thou given counsel? perhaps to him that hath no wisdom, and thou hast shewn thy very great prudence.
4 To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?	4 Whom hast thou desired to teach? was it not him that made life?
5 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.	5 Behold the giants groan under the waters, and they that dwell with them.
6 Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.	6 Hell is naked before him, and there is no covering for destruction.
7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.	7 He stretched out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.	8 He bindeth up the waters in his clouds, so that they break not out and fall down together.
9 He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.	9 He withholdeth the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud over it.
10 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.	10 He hath set bounds about the waters, till light and darkness come to an end.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.	11 The pillars of heaven tremble, and dread at his beck.
12 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.	12 By his power the seas are suddenly gathered together, and his wisdom has struck the proud one.
13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.	13 His spirit hath adorned the heavens, and his obstetric hand brought forth the winding serpent.
14 Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?	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?
