# Chapter 26
|
||
1 Then Job spoke again:
|
||
2 “How you have helped the powerless!
|
||
How you have saved the weak!
|
||
3 How you have enlightened my stupidity!
|
||
What wise advice you have offered!
|
||
4 Where have you gotten all these wise sayings?
|
||
Whose spirit speaks through you?
|
||
5 “The dead tremble—
|
||
those who live beneath the waters.
|
||
6 The underworld is naked in God’s presence.
|
||
The place of destruction is uncovered.
|
||
7 God stretches the northern sky over empty space
|
||
and hangs the earth on nothing.
|
||
8 He wraps the rain in his thick clouds,
|
||
and the clouds don’t burst with the weight.
|
||
9 He covers the face of the moon,
|
||
shrouding it with his clouds.
|
||
10 He created the horizon when he separated the waters;
|
||
he set the boundary between day and night.
|
||
11 The foundations of heaven tremble;
|
||
they shudder at his rebuke.
|
||
12 By his power the sea grew calm.
|
||
By his skill he crushed the great sea monster.
|
||
13 His Spirit made the heavens beautiful,
|
||
and his power pierced the gliding serpent.
|
||
14 These are just the beginning of all that he does,
|
||
merely a whisper of his power.
|
||
Who, then, can comprehend the thunder of his power?” |
