Job.
|
|
Chapter 26.
|
|
Then Job answered,
|
|
“How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength!
|
|
How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
|
|
To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came out of you?
|
|
“The departed spirits tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
|
|
Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.
|
|
He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.
|
|
He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.
|
|
He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
|
|
He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.
|
|
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
|
|
He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
|
|
By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
|
|
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?”
