Douay Bible - Job Chapter 26

Job 26:1
Then Job answered, and said:

Job 26:2
Whose helper art thou? is it of him that is weak? and dost thou hold up the arm of him that has no strength?

Job 26:3
To whom hast thou given counsel? perhaps to him that hath no wisdom, and thou hast shewn thy very great prudence.

Job 26:4
Whom hast thou desired to teach? was it not him that made life?

Job 26:5
Behold the giants groan under the waters, and they that dwell with them.

Job 26:6
Hell is naked before him, and there is no covering for destruction.

Job 26:7
He stretched out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

Job 26:8
He bindeth up the waters in his clouds, so that they break not out and fall down together.

Job 26:9
He withholdeth the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud over it.

Job 26:10
He hath set bounds about the waters, till light and darkness come to an end.

Job 26:11
The pillars of heaven tremble, and dread at his beck.

Job 26:12
By his power the seas are suddenly gathered together, and his wisdom has struck the proud one.

Job 26:13
His spirit hath adorned the heavens, and his obstetric hand brought forth the winding serpent.

Job 26:14
Lo, 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?

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe...
