Job 26

¹Then Job answered,

²"How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength!

³How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, And plentifully declared sound knowledge!

⁴To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came forth from you?

⁵"Those who are deceased tremble, Those beneath the waters and all that live in them.

⁶Sheol is naked before God, And Abaddon has no covering.

⁷He stretches out the north over empty space, And hangs the earth on nothing.

⁸He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, And the cloud is not burst under them.

⁹He encloses the face of his throne, And spreads his cloud on it.

¹⁰He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, And to the confines of light and darkness.

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

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

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

¹⁴Behold, 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?"
