Job 26
1 And he answered Job and he said.
Then Job answered:
2 How! you have helped not power you have saved [the] arm not strength.
“How you have helped the powerless and saved the arm that is feeble!
3 How! you have counseled not wisdom and sound wisdom for abundance you have made known.
How you have counseled the unwise and provided fully sound insight!
4 Whom? have you told words and [the] breath of whom? has it gone out from you.
To whom have you uttered these words? And whose spirit spoke through you?
5 The shades they are made to tremble under [the] waters and [those which] dwell in them.
The dead tremble— those beneath the waters and those who dwell in them.
Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 [he] stretches out [the] north Over emptiness [he] hangs [the] earth on not whatever.
He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth upon nothing.
8 [he] binds up Waters in clouds his and not it is split open [the] cloud under them.
He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight.
9 [he] covers [the] presence of [the] throne He spreads over it cloud his.
He covers the face of the full moon, spreading over it His cloud.
10 A limit he has drawn a circle on [the] surface of [the] waters to [the] end of light with darkness.
He has inscribed a horizon on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.
11 [the] pillars of Heaven they shake and they may be astonished from rebuke his.
The foundations of heaven quake, astounded at His rebuke.
12 By power his he stirred up the sea (and by understanding his *Q(k)*) he shattered Rahab.
By His power He stirred the sea; by His understanding He shattered Rahab.
13 By wind his [the] heavens [are] clearness it pierced hand his [the] snake fleeing.
By His breath the skies were cleared; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
14 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.
Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways; how faint is the whisper we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His power?”
