Job 26:2
26:2 {a} How hast thou helped [him that is] without power? [how]
     {b} savest thou the arm [that hath] no strength?

     (a) You concluded nothing, for neither did you help me
         while destitute of all help, nor yet speak sufficiently
         on God's behalf, who has no need for your defence.
     (b) But you do not apply it to the purpose.

Job 26:4
26:4 To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit {c} came
     from thee?

     (c) That is, moves you to speak this?

Job 26:5
26:5 {d} Dead [things] are formed from under the waters, and the
     inhabitants thereof.

     (d) Job begins to declare the force of God's power and
         providence in the mines and metals in the deep places
         of the earth.

Job 26:6
26:6 Hell [is] {e} naked before him, and {f} destruction hath no
     covering.

     (e) There is nothing hidden in the bottom of the earth but
         he sees it.
     (f) Meaning, the grave in which things putrify.

Job 26:7
26:7 He stretcheth out the {g} north over the empty place, [and]
     hangeth the earth upon nothing.

     (g) He causes the whole earth to turn about the North
         pole.

Job 26:10
26:10 He hath {h} compassed the waters with bounds, until the
      {i} day and night come to an end.

      (h) That is, he hid the heavens which are called his
          throne.
      (i) So long as this world endures.

Job 26:11
26:11 The {k} pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at
      his reproof.

      (k) Not that heaven has pillars to uphold it, but he
          speaks by a similitude as though he would say heaven
          itself is not able to abide his reproach.

Job 26:13
26:13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath
      formed the crooked {l} serpent.

      (l) Which is a figure of stars shaped like a serpent,
          because of the crookedness.

Job 26:14
26:14 Lo, these [are] parts of his ways: but {m} how little a
      portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who
      can understand?

      (m) If these few things which we see daily with our eyes,
          declare his great power and providence, how much more
          would they appear, if we were to comprehend all his
          works.
