Job 26

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41] [42]

26:1 Then Job made answer and said,

26:2 How have you given help to him who has no power! how have you been the salvation of the arm which has no strength!

26:3 How have you given teaching to him who has no wisdom, and fully made clear true knowledge!

26:4 To whom have your words been said? and whose spirit came out from you?

26:5 The shades in the underworld are shaking; the waters and those living in them.

26:6 The underworld is uncovered before him, and Destruction has no veil.

26:7 By his hand the north is stretched out in space, and the earth is hanging on nothing.

26:8 By him the waters are shut up in his thick clouds, and the cloud does not give way under them.

26:9 By him the face of his high seat is veiled, and his cloud stretched out over it.

26:10 By him a circle is marked out on the face of the waters, to the limits of the light and the dark.

26:11 The pillars of heaven are shaking, and are overcome by his sharp words.

26:12 By his power the sea was made quiet; and by his wisdom Rahab was wounded.

26:13 By his wind the heavens become bright: by his hand the quickly moving snake was cut through.

26:14 See, these are only the outskirts of his ways; and how small is that which comes to our ears about him! But the thunder of his acts of power is outside all knowledge.
