Job 26

Job
1Then Job replied:
2‘How you have helped the powerless!
How you have saved the arm that is feeble!
3What advice you have offered to one without wisdom!
And what great insight you have displayed!
4Who has helped you utter these words?
And whose spirit spoke from your mouth?
5‘The dead are in deep anguish,
those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
6The realm of the dead is naked before God;
Destruction#26:6 Hebrew Abaddon lies uncovered.
7He spreads out the northern skies over empty space;
he suspends the earth over nothing.
8He wraps up the waters in his clouds,
yet the clouds do not burst under their weight.
9He covers the face of the full moon,
spreading his clouds over it.
10He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters
for a boundary between light and darkness.
11The pillars of the heavens quake,
aghast at his rebuke.
12By his power he churned up the sea;
by his wisdom he cut Rahab to pieces.
13By his breath the skies became fair;
his hand pierced the gliding serpent.
14And these are but the outer fringe of his works;
how faint the whisper we hear of him!
Who then can understand the thunder of his power?’

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?
