| Chapter 26 |
1 | Then Job answered and said,
|
2 | How hast thou helped him that is without power! How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!
|
3 | How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, And plentifully declared sound knowledge!
|
4 | To whom hast thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?
|
5 | They that are deceased tremble Beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.
|
6 | Sheol is naked before [God], And Abaddon hath no covering.
|
7 | He stretcheth out the north over empty space, And hangeth the earth upon nothing.
|
8 | He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; And the cloud is not rent under them.
|
9 | He incloseth the face of his throne, And spreadeth his cloud upon it.
|
10 | He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, Unto the confines of light and darkness.
|
11 | The pillars of heaven tremble And are astonished at his rebuke.
|
12 | He stirreth up the sea with his power, And by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.
|
13 | By his Spirit the heavens are garnished; His hand hath pierced the swift serpent.
|
14 | Lo, 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?
