Iyov (Job) 26
26
1Then Iyov replied,
2“What great help you bring to the powerless!
what deliverance to the arm without strength!
3Such wonderful advice for a man lacking wisdom!
So much common sense you’ve expressed!
4Who helped you to say these words?
Whose spirit is it, coming forth from you?
5“The ghosts of the dead tremble
beneath the water, with its creatures.
6Sh’ol is naked before him;
Abaddon lies uncovered.
7He stretches the north over chaos
and suspends the earth on nothing.
8He binds up the water in his thick clouds,
yet no cloud is torn apart by it.
9He shuts off the view of his throne
by spreading his cloud across it.
10He fixed a circle on the surface of the water,
defining the boundary between light and dark.
11The pillars of heaven tremble,
aghast at his rebuke.
12He stirs up the sea with his power,
and by his skill he strikes down Rahav.
13With his Spirit he spreads the heavens;
his hand pierces the fleeing serpent.
14And these are but the fringes of his ways;
how faint the echo we hear of him!
But who is able to grasp the meaning
of his thundering 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?
