Job 26:14

Job 26:6-14 - Who can resist th’ Almighty arm that made the starry sky? Or who elude the certain glance of God’s all‐seeing eye? 2 From him no cov’ring vails our crimes; hell opens to his sight; And all Destruction’s secret snares lie full disclos’d in light. 3 Firm on the boundless void of space he pois’d the steady pole, And in the circle of his clouds bade secret waters roll. 4 While nature’s universal frame its Maker’s pow’r reveals, His throne, remote from mortal eyes, an awful cloud conceals. 5 From where the rising day ascends, to where it sets in night, He compasses the floods with bounds, and checks their threat’ning might. 6 The pillars that support the sky tremble at his rebuke; Through all its caverns quakes the earth, as though its centre shook. 7 He brings the waters from their beds, although no tempest blows, And smites the kingdom of the proud without the hand of foes. 8 With bright inhabitants above he fills the heav’nly land, And all the crooked serpent’s breed dismay’d before him stand. 9 Few of his works can we survey; these few our skill transcend: But the full thunder of his pow’r what heart can comprehend?
