Job 26 – Studienbibel

1 But Job347 answered6030 and said559, 2 How hast thou helped5826 him that is without power3581? how savest3467 thou the arm2220 that hath no3808 strength5797? 3 How hast thou counselled3289 him that hath no3808 wisdom2451? and how hast thou plentifully7230 declared3045 the thing as it is8454? 4 To whom hast thou uttered5046 words4405? and whose spirit5397 came3318 from thee?

5 Dead7496 things are formed2342 from under the waters4325, and the inhabitants7931 thereof.¹ 6 Hell7585 is naked6174 before him, and destruction11 hath no covering3682. 7 He stretcheth out5186 the north6828 over the empty place8414, and hangeth8518 the earth776 upon nothing1099. 8 He bindeth up6887 the waters4325 in his thick clouds5645; and the cloud6051 is not rent1234 under them. 9 He holdeth back270 the face6440 of his throne3678, and spreadeth6576 his cloud6051 upon it. 10 He hath compassed2328 the waters6440 4325 with bounds2706, until the day216 and night2822 come to an end8503.² 11 The pillars5982 of heaven8064 tremble7322 and are astonished8539 at his reproof1606. 12 He divideth7280 the sea3220 with his power3581, and by his understanding8394 8394 he smiteth4272 through the proud7293.³ 13 By his spirit7307 he hath garnished8235 the heavens8064; his hand3027 hath formed2342 the crooked1281 serpent5175. 14 Lo, these are parts7098 of his ways1870: but how little8102 a portion1697 is heard8085 of him? but the thunder7482 of his power1369 who can understand995?
