Job 26
1 But Job answered and said,
And Job answers and says:
2 How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
“How you have helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
How you have given counsel to the unwise, And made known wise plans in abundance.
4 To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
With whom have you declared words? And whose breath came forth from you?
5 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
The Rephaim are formed, Also their inhabitants beneath the waters.
Sheol [is] naked before Him, And there is no covering to destruction. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth on nothing,
8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not burst under them.
9 He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading His cloud over it.
10 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
He has placed a limit on the waters, To the boundary of light with darkness.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
Pillars of the heavens tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
12 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
By His power He has quieted the sea, And by His understanding struck the proud.
13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
He beautified the heavens by His Spirit, His hand has formed the fleeing serpent.
14 Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
Behold, these [are] the borders of His way, and how little a matter is heard of Him, and who understands the thunder of His might?”
