Job 26

Job Replies: God’s Majesty Is Unsearchable

1But Job answered:

2“How have you helped him who is without power?

How have you saved the arm that has no strength?

3How have you counseled him who has no wisdom?

And how have you plentifully declared sound knowledge?

4To whom have you uttered words?

And whose breath came from you?

5#Ge 6:4; Ps 88:10 “The departed spirits tremble under the waters,

and their inhabitants.

6#Ps 139:8; Pr 15:11 The underworld is naked before Him,

and destruction has no covering.

7#Job 9:8; Ge 1:1–2 He stretches out the north over empty space,

He hangs the earth upon nothing.

8#Pr 30:4 He binds up the waters in His thick clouds,

and the cloud is not broken under them.

9#Ps 97:2 He covers the face of the full moon

and spreads His cloud over it.

10#Job 38:8–11; Pr 8:29 He has circled the waters with boundaries,

until the day and night come to an end.

11The pillars of heaven tremble

and are astonished at His reproof.

12#Isa 51:15; Jer 31:35 He divides the sea with His power,

and by His understanding He strikes through the proud.

13#Isa 27:1; Ge 1:2 By His breath He has made fair the heavens;

His hand has formed the fleeing serpent.

14Indeed, these are but a part of His ways,

and how small a whisper we hear of Him!

But the thunder of His power 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?
