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