Job 26

¹Then Job answered and said :

²How you have helped him who has no power ! How you have saved the arm that has no strength !

³How you have counseled him who has no wisdom , and plentifully declared sound knowledge !

⁴With whose help have you uttered words , and whose breath has come out from you?

⁵The dead tremble under the waters and their inhabitants .

⁶Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering .

⁷He stretches out the north over the void and hangs the earth on nothing .

⁸He binds up the waters in his thick clouds , and the cloud is not split open under them.

⁹He covers the face of the full moon and spreads over it his cloud .

¹⁰He has inscribed a circle on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness .

¹¹The pillars of heaven tremble and are astounded at his rebuke .

¹²By his power he stilled the sea ; by his understanding he shattered Rahab .

¹³By his wind the heavens were made fair ; his hand pierced the fleeing serpent .

¹⁴Behold , these are but the outskirts of his ways , and how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand ?
