< Job 26 >
1 Job replied,
2 “How helpful you have been to this feeble man that I am. How supportive you have been to the weak.
3 What good advice you have given to this ignorant man, demonstrating you have so much wisdom.
4 Who helped you speak these words? Who inspired you to say such things?
5 The dead tremble, those beneath the waters.
6 Sheol lies naked before God, Abaddon is uncovered. (Sheol )
7 He stretches the northern sky over empty space; he hangs the world on nothing.
8 He gathers the rain in his storm clouds which do not break under the weight.
9 He veils his throne; covering it with his clouds.
10 On the surface of the waters he set a boundary; he set a limit dividing light from darkness.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble; they shake with fear at his rebuke.
12 He calmed the sea with his power; because he knew what to do he crushed Rahab.
13 The breath of his voice made the heavens beautiful; with his hand he pierced the gliding serpent.
14 This is just a little of all he does—what we hear of him is hardly a whisper, so who can understand his thunderous power?”
