< Job 26 >
1 And he answered Job and he said.

2 How! you have helped not power you have saved [the] arm not strength.
How hast thou helped the powerless; how saved the arm that is without strength!
3 How! you have counseled not wisdom and sound wisdom for abundance you have made known.
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and abundantly declared the thing as it is!
4 Whom? have you told words and [the] breath of whom? has it gone out from you.
For whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?

He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not rent under them.
9 [he] covers [the] presence of [the] throne He spreads over it cloud his.
He covereth the face of his throne, he spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10 A limit he has drawn a circle on [the] surface of [the] waters to [the] end of light with darkness.
He hath traced a fixed circle over the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.
11 [the] pillars of Heaven they shake and they may be astonished from rebuke his.
The pillars of the heavens tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.

He stirreth up the sea by his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.
13 By wind his [the] heavens [are] clearness it pierced hand his [the] snake fleeing.
By his Spirit the heavens are adorned; his hand hath formed 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.
Lo, these are the borders of his ways; but what a whisper of a word do we hear of him! And the thunder of his power, who can understand?
