Job 26

¹Then Job answered and said,

²How hast thou helped him that is without power! How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!

³How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, And plentifully declared sound knowledge!

⁴To whom hast thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?

⁵They that are deceased tremble Beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.

⁶Sheol is naked before [God], And Abaddon hath no covering.

⁷He stretcheth out the north over empty space, And hangeth the earth upon nothing.

⁸He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; And the cloud is not rent under them.

⁹He incloseth the face of his throne, And spreadeth his cloud upon it.

¹⁰He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, Unto the confines of light and darkness.

¹¹The pillars of heaven tremble And are astonished at his rebuke.

¹²He stirreth up the sea with his power, And by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.

¹³By his Spirit the heavens are garnished; His hand hath pierced the swift serpent.

¹⁴Lo, 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?
