Job Chapter 26

Bible in Basic English

   1: Then Job made answer and said,
   2: How have you given help to him who has no power! how have you been the salvation of the arm which has no strength!
   3: How have you given teaching to him who has no wisdom, and fully made clear true knowledge!
   4: To whom have your words been said? and whose spirit came out from you?
   5: The shades in the underworld are shaking; the waters and those living in them.
   6: The underworld is uncovered before him, and Destruction has no veil.
   7: By his hand the north is stretched out in space, and the earth is hanging on nothing.
   8: By him the waters are shut up in his thick clouds, and the cloud does not give way under them.
   9: By him the face of his high seat is veiled, and his cloud stretched out over it.
   10: By him a circle is marked out on the face of the waters, to the limits of the light and the dark.
   11: The pillars of heaven are shaking, and are overcome by his sharp words.
   12: By his power the sea was made quiet; and by his wisdom Rahab was wounded.
   13: By his wind the heavens become bright: by his hand the quickly moving snake was cut through.
   14: See, these are only the outskirts of his ways; and how small is that which comes to our ears about him! But the thunder of his acts of power is outside all knowledge.
