# Job 26 (New King James Version)
Job: Man's Frailty and God's Majesty

##### Chapter 26
###### 1 But Job answered and said:

###### 2 "How have you helped _him who is_ without power?  
_How_ have you saved the arm _that has_ no strength?  

###### 3 How have you counseled _one who has_ no wisdom?  
And _how_ have you declared sound advice to many?  

###### 4 To whom have you uttered words?  
And whose spirit came from you?

###### 5 "The dead tremble,  
Those under the waters and those inhabiting them.  

###### 6 Sheol _is_ naked before Him,  
And Destruction has no covering.  

###### 7 He stretches out the north over empty space;  
_He_ hangs the earth on nothing.  

###### 8 He binds up the water in His thick clouds,  
Yet the clouds are not broken under it.  

###### 9 He covers the face of _His_ throne,  
_And_ spreads His cloud over it.  

###### 10 He drew a circular horizon on the face of the waters,  
At the boundary of light and darkness.  

###### 11 The pillars of heaven tremble,  
And are astonished at His rebuke.  

###### 12 He stirs up the sea with His power,  
And by His understanding He breaks up the storm.  

###### 13 By His Spirit He adorned the heavens;  
His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.  

###### 14 Indeed these _are_ the mere edges of His ways,  
And how small a whisper we hear of Him!  
But the thunder of His power who can understand?"
