# Chapter 26
|
|
1 Then Job answered:
|
|
2 How you have helped the powerless
|
|
and delivered the arm that is weak!
|
|
3 How you have counseled the unwise
|
|
and abundantly provided insight!
|
|
4 With whom did you speak these words?
|
|
Whose breath came out of your mouth?
|
|
5 The departed spirits tremble
|
|
beneath the waters and all that inhabit them.
|
|
6 Sheol is naked before God,
|
|
and Abaddon has no covering.
|
|
7 He stretches the northern skies over empty space;
|
|
he hangs the earth on nothing.
|
|
8 He wraps up the water in his clouds,
|
|
yet the clouds do not burst beneath its weight.
|
|
9 He obscures the view of his throne,
|
|
spreading his cloud over it.
|
|
10 He laid out the horizon on the surface of the waters
|
|
at the boundary between light and darkness.
|
|
11 The pillars that hold up the sky tremble,
|
|
astounded at his rebuke.
|
|
12 By his power he stirred the sea,
|
|
and by his understanding he crushed Rahab.
|
|
13 By his breath the heavens gained their beauty;
|
|
his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
|
|
14 These are but the fringes of his ways;
|
|
how faint is the word we hear of him!
|
|
Who can understand his mighty thunder? |
