Job 26
1 Job replied:
2 “How you have helped the one who has no strength! How you have saved the arm that has no power!
3 What counsel you have given the one who lacks wisdom! How much good sense you have shown!
4 To whom have you spoken these words? And whose breath came out of you?
5 The dead tremble beneath the waters, along with those who dwell there.
6 Sheol lies open before him, and Abaddon has no covering.
7 He stretches the north over the void and hangs the earth over nothing.
8 He binds the waters in his clouds, and the cloud does not burst beneath them.
9 He veils the face of the throne, spreading his cloud over it.
10 He drew a circle over the face of the waters, to the boundary between light and darkness.
11 The pillars of heaven shake and are stunned at his rebuke.
12 By his power he stirs the sea, and by his understanding he shatters Rahab.
13 By his breath the heavens are cleared; his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
14 Look, these are only the edges of his ways, and what a faint whisper we hear about him! Who can understand the thunder of his power?”
