Job: Who Can Understand God’s Majesty?

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, & 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, & 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?
