Job's Ninth Speech: A Response to Bildad
|
|
|
|
# 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?"
