< Job 26 >

1 Then Job answered and said:
And he answered Job and he said.
2 How hast thou helped him that is without power! How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!
How! you have helped not power you have saved [the] arm not strength.
3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
How! you have counseled not wisdom and sound wisdom for abundance you have made known.
4 With whose help hast thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?
Whom? have you told words and [the] breath of whom? has it gone out from you.
5 The shades tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.
The shades they are made to tremble under [the] waters and [those which] dwell in them.
6 The nether-world is naked before Him, and Destruction hath no covering. (Sheol h7585)
[is] naked Sheol before him and not a covering [belongs] to Abaddon. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth over nothing.
[he] stretches out [the] north Over emptiness [he] hangs [the] earth on not whatever.
8 He bindeth up the waters in His thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
[he] binds up Waters in clouds his and not it is split open [the] cloud under them.
9 He closeth in the face of His throne, and spreadeth His cloud upon it.
[he] covers [the] presence of [the] throne He spreads over it cloud his.
10 He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.
A limit he has drawn a circle on [the] surface of [the] waters to [the] end of light with darkness.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at His rebuke.
[the] pillars of Heaven they shake and they may be astonished from rebuke his.
12 He stirreth up the sea with His power, and by His understanding He smiteth through Rahab.
By power his he stirred up the sea (and by understanding his *Q(k)*) he shattered Rahab.
13 By His breath the heavens are serene; His hand hath pierced the slant serpent.
By wind his [the] heavens [are] clearness it pierced hand his [the] snake fleeing.
14 Lo, these are but the outskirts of His ways; and how small a whisper is heard of Him! But the thunder of His mighty deeds who can understand?
There! these - [are] [the] ends of (ways his *Q(K)*) and what! a whisper of a word we hear in it and [the] thunder of (mighty deeds his *Q(K)*) who? will he understand.
