Job 26

¹ Then Job answered:

² "How you have helped him who has no power! How you have saved the arm that has no strength!

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

⁴ With whose help have you uttered words, and whose spirit has come forth from you?

⁵ The shades below tremble, the waters and their inhabitants.

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

⁷ He stretches out the north over the void, and hangs the earth upon nothing.

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

⁹ He covers the face of the moon, and spreads over it his cloud.

¹⁰ He has described a circle upon the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.

¹¹ The pillars of heaven tremble, and are astounded at his rebuke.

¹² By his power he stilled the sea; by his understanding he smote Rahab.

¹³ By his wind the heavens were made fair; his hand pierced the fleeing 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?"
