Job 26
26
Job Rebukes Bildad
1Then Job responded,
2“What a help you are to the weak!
How you have saved the arm without strength!
3What counsel you have given to one without wisdom!
What helpful insight you have abundantly provided!
4To whom have you uttered words?
And whose spirit was expressed through you?
The Greatness of God
5“The departed spirits tremble
Under the waters and their inhabitants.
6Naked is Sheol before Him,
And #I.e. place of destructionAbaddon has no covering.
7He stretches out the north over empty space
And hangs the earth on nothing.
8He wraps up the waters in His clouds,
And the cloud does not burst under them.
9He obscures the face of the full moon
And spreads His cloud over it.
10He has inscribed a circle on the surface of the waters
At the boundary of light and darkness.
11The pillars of heaven tremble
And are amazed at His rebuke.
12He quieted the sea with His power,
And by His understanding He shattered Rahab.
13By His breath the heavens are cleared;
His hand has pierced the fleeing serpent.
14Behold, these are the fringes of His ways;
And how faint a word we hear of Him!
But His mighty thunder, who can understand?”

Job 26

Job Declares God's Sovereignty
1But Job answered and said,
2How hast thou helped him that is without power?
How savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
3How hast thou counseled him that hath no wisdom?
And how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4To whom hast thou uttered words?
And whose spirit came from thee?
5Dead things are formed from under the waters,
and the inhabitants thereof.
6Hell#26.6 Hell, Hebrew Sheol. is naked before him,
and destruction hath no covering.
7He stretcheth out the north over the empty place,
and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds;
and the cloud is not rent under them.
9He holdeth back the face of his throne,
and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10He hath compassed the waters with bounds,
until the day and night come to an end.
11The pillars of heaven tremble,
and are astonished at his reproof.
12He divideth the sea with his power,
and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
13By his Spirit he hath garnished the heavens;
his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
14Lo, these are parts of his ways;
but how little a portion is heard of him?
But the thunder of his power who can understand?
