Then Job answered, |
| 26.2 |
“How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength! |
| 26.3 |
How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge! |
| 26.4 |
To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came out of you? |
| 26.5 |
“The departed spirits tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them. |
| 26.6 |
Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering. |
| 26.7 |
He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing. |
| 26.8 |
He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them. |
| 26.9 |
He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it. |
| 26.10 |
He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness. |
| 26.11 |
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke. |
| 26.12 |
He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab. |
| 26.13 |
By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent. |
| 26.14 |
Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?” |
