Job 26 / 42
- 1
(Job Replies: God's Majesty Is Unsearchable)
Then Job answered and said:
- 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 breath has come out from you?
- 5
The dead tremble
under 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 on nothing.
- 8
He binds up the waters in his thick clouds,
and the cloud is not split open under them.
- 9
He covers the face of the full moon
and spreads over it his cloud.
- 10
He has inscribed a circle on 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 shattered Rahab.
- 13
By his wind the heavens were made fair;
his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
- 14
Behold, 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?"
