- 1But Job answered and said,וַיַּ֥עַן אִיּ֗וֹב וַיֹּאמַֽר
- 2How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?מֶה עָזַ֥רְתָּ לְלֹא כֹ֑חַ ה֝וֹשַׁ֗עְתָּ זְר֣וֹעַ לֹא עֹֽז
- 3How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?מַה יָּ֭עַצְתָּ לְלֹ֣א חָכְמָ֑ה וְ֝תוּשִׁיָּ֗ה לָרֹ֥ב הוֹדָֽעְתָּ
- 4To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?אֶת מִ֭י הִגַּ֣דְתָּ מִלִּ֑ין וְנִשְׁמַת מִ֝י יָצְאָ֥ה מִמֶּֽךָּ
- 5Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.הָרְפָאִ֥ים יְחוֹלָ֑לוּ מִתַּ֥חַת מַ֝֗יִם וְשֹׁכְנֵיהֶֽם
- 6Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.עָר֣וֹם שְׁא֣וֹל נֶגְדּ֑וֹ וְאֵ֥ין כְּ֝ס֗וּת לָֽאֲבַדּֽוֹן
- 7He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.נֹטֶ֣ה צָפ֣וֹן עַל תֹּ֑הוּ תֹּ֥לֶה אֶ֝֗רֶץ עַל מָֽה
- 8He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.צֹרֵֽר מַ֥יִם בְּעָבָ֑יו וְלֹא נִבְקַ֖ע עָנָ֣ן תַּחְתָּֽם
- 9He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.מְאַחֵ֥ז פְּנֵי כִסֵּ֑ה פַּרְשֵׁ֖ז עָלָ֣יו עֲנָנֽוֹ
- 10He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.חֹֽק חָ֭ג עַל פְּנֵי מָ֑יִם עַד תַּכְלִ֖ית א֣וֹר עִם חֹֽשֶׁךְ
- 11The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.עַמּוּדֵ֣י שָׁמַ֣יִם יְרוֹפָ֑פוּ וְ֝יִתְמְה֗וּ מִגַּעֲרָתֽוֹ
- 12He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.בְּ֭כֹחוֹ רָגַ֣ע הַיָּ֑ם ובתובנתו וּ֝בִתְבוּנָת֗וֹ מָ֣חַץ רָֽהַב
- 13By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.בְּ֭רוּחוֹ שָׁמַ֣יִם שִׁפְרָ֑ה חֹֽלֲלָ֥ה יָ֝ד֗וֹ נָחָ֥שׁ בָּרִֽיחַ
- 14Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?הֶן אֵ֤לֶּה קְצ֬וֹת דרכו דְּרָכָ֗יו וּמַה שֵּׁ֣מֶץ דָּ֭בָר נִשְׁמַע וְרַ֥עַם גבורתו גְּ֝בוּרוֹתָ֗יו מִ֣י יִתְבּוֹנָֽן

Job 26 original-language research
The Hebrew lines shown beneath the KJV text come from the Open Scriptures Hebrew Bible (OSHB) data in YHWSA. The chapter vocabulary below is ranked from verse-level Strong's tagging; grammatical particles are omitted so meaningful terms remain visible.
properly, interrogative what? (including how? why? when?); but also exclamation, what! (including how!), or indefinitely what (including whatever, and even relatively, that which); often used with prefixes in various adverbial or conjunctive senses
who? (occasionally, by a peculiar idiom, of things); also (indefinitely) whoever; often used in oblique construction with prefix or suffix
water; figuratively, juice; by euphemism, urine, semen
force (literally or figuratively); by implication, valor, victory
a road (as trodden); figuratively, a course of life or mode of action, often adverb
vigor, literally (force, in a good or a bad sense) or figuratively (capacity, means, produce); also (from its hardiness) a large lizard
a cloud (as covering the sky), i.e., the nimbus or thunder-cloud
the face (as the part that turns); used in a great variety of applications (literally and figuratively); also (with prepositional prefix) as a preposition (before, etc.)
the sky (as aloft; the dual perhaps alluding to the visible arch in which the clouds move, as well as to the higher ether where the celestial bodies revolve)
intelligence; by implication, an argument; by extension, caprice
Hebrew verse gematria
YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
