Job 26 Comparison: KJV with Apocrypha vs Douay-Rheims
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?
Job 26
1Then Job answered, and said:
2Whose helper art thou? is it of him that is weak? and dost thou hold up the arm of him that has no strength?
3To whom hast thou given counsel? perhaps to him that hath no wisdom, and thou hast shewn thy very great prudence.
4Whom hast thou desired to teach? was it not him that made life?
5Behold the giants groan under the waters, and they that dwell with them.
6Hell is naked before him, and there is no covering for destruction.
7He stretched out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8He bindeth up the waters in his clouds, so that they break not out and fall down together.
9He withholdeth the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud over it.
10He hath set bounds about the waters, till light and darkness come to an end.
11The pillars of heaven tremble, and dread at his beck.
12By his power the seas are suddenly gathered together, and his wisdom has struck the proud one.
13His spirit hath adorned the heavens, and his obstetric hand brought forth the winding serpent.
14Lo, 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?
