Iyov 26
26
1But Iyov answered and said,
2How hast thou helped him that is without ko'ach? How savest thou the zero'a that hath no oz (strength)?
3How hast thou counseled him that hath no chochmah? And how hast thou plentifully declared the tushiyyah (efficient wisdom)?
4To whom hast thou uttered words? And whose neshamah came from thee?
5Dead things tremble from under the mayim, and the inhabitants thereof.
6Sheol is naked before Him, and Avaddon hath no cover.
7He stretcheth out the Tzafon over the tohu, and hangeth eretz upon nothing.
8He bindeth up the mayim in His thick clouds; and the anan doeth not burst under them.
9He covers the face of [His] kisse, and spreadeth His anan upon it.
10He hath circled the horizon on the face of the mayim for a boundary between ohr and choshech.
11The ammudim of Shomayim tremble and are aghast at His rebuke.
12He divideth the yam with His ko'ach, and by His understanding He struck down Rahav.
13By His Ruach He hath made fair Shomayim; His yad hath pierced the fleeing nachash.
14Lo, these are but the ketzot of His ways, but how faint the davar we hear of Him. And the thunder of His gevurah who can understand?

Job 26

Job’s Reply to Bildad
1Then Job answered:
2How you have helped#Jb 4:3; Is 35:3; Heb 12:12 the powerless
and delivered the arm that is weak!
3How you have counseled the unwise#Jb 11:6; Ps 73:24; Jms 1:5
and abundantly provided insight!
4With whom did you speak these words?
Whose breath came out of your mouth?
5The departed spirits tremble
beneath the waters and all that inhabit them.#Ps 88:10; Is 26:14,19; Rv 20:13
6Sheol#Ps 30:3,9; Pr 1:12; Is 5:14 is naked before God,
and Abaddon#Jb 28:22; Pr 27:20; Rv 9:11 has no covering.#Ps 139:8; Pr 15:11; Heb 4:13
7He stretches the northern skies over empty space;
he hangs the earth on nothing.
8He wraps up the water in his clouds,
yet the clouds do not burst beneath its weight.#Jb 37:11; 38:9; Pr 30:4
9He obscures the view of his throne,
spreading his cloud over it.
10He laid out the horizon on the surface of the waters#Ps 104:9; Pr 8:27,29; Jr 5:22
at the boundary between light and darkness.
11The pillars that hold up the sky tremble,
astounded at his rebuke.#2Sm 22:16; Ps 18:15; 104:7
12By his power he stirred#Is 51:15; Jr 31:35 the sea,
and by his understanding he crushed Rahab.#Jb 9:13; Ps 89:10; Is 51:9
13By his breath the heavens gained their beauty;
his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.#26:13 = Leviathan#Jb 41; Ps 33:6; Is 27:1
14These are but the fringes of his ways;
how faint is the word we hear of him!
Who can understand his mighty thunder?
