Job 26 Comparison: Geneva Bible 1599 vs King James Version
Job 26
1Bvt Iob answered, and sayde,
2Whom helpest thou? him that hath no power? sauest thou the arme that hath no strength?
3Whome counsellest thou? him that hath no wisedome? thou shewest right well as the thing is.
4To whom doest thou declare these words? or whose spirit commeth out of thee?
5The dead things are formed vnder the waters, and neere vnto them.
6The graue is naked before him, and there is no couering for destruction.
7He stretcheth out the North ouer the emptie place, and hangeth the earth vpon nothing.
8He bindeth the waters in his cloudes, and the cloude is not broken vnder them.
9He holdeth backe the face of his throne: and spreadeth his cloude vpon it.
10He hath set bounds about the waters, vntil the day and night come to an ende.
11The pillars of heauen tremble and quake at his reproofe.
12The sea is calme by his power, and by his vnderstanding he smiteth the pride thereof.
13His Spirite hath garnished the heauens, and his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
14Loe, these are part of his wayes: but how litle a portion heare we of him? and who can vnderstand his fearefull power?
Job 26
1But Job answered and said,
2How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
3How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
6Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.
7He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
9He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
11The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
12He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
13By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
14Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
