# Chapter 26
|
|
1 Then Job answered and said:
|
|
2 “How you have helped him who has no power!
|
|
How you have saved the arm that has no strength!
|
|
3 How you have counseled him who has no wisdom,
|
|
and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
|
|
4 With whose help have you uttered words,
|
|
and whose breath has come out from you?
|
|
5 The dead tremble
|
|
under the waters and their inhabitants.
|
|
6 Sheol is naked before God,
|
|
and Abaddon has no covering.
|
|
7 He stretches out the north over the void
|
|
and hangs the earth on nothing.
|
|
8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds,
|
|
and the cloud is not split open under them.
|
|
9 He covers the face of the full moon
|
|
and spreads over it his cloud.
|
|
10 He has inscribed a circle on the face of the waters
|
|
at the boundary between light and darkness.
|
|
11 The pillars of heaven tremble
|
|
and are astounded at his rebuke.
|
|
12 By his power he stilled the sea;
|
|
by his understanding he shattered Rahab.
|
|
13 By his wind the heavens were made fair;
|
|
his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
|
|
14 Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways,
|
|
and how small a whisper do we hear of him!
|
|
But the thunder of his power who can understand?” |
