Job 26

Job Rebukes Bildad
1But Job answered and said,
2“What a help you are to the weak (powerless)!
How you have saved the arm that is without strength!
3“How you have counseled the one who has no wisdom!
And how abundantly you have provided sound wisdom and helpful insight!
4“To whom have you uttered [these] words?
And whose spirit [inspired what] came forth from you?
The Greatness of God
5¶“The spirits of the dead tremble
Underneath the waters and their inhabitants.
6“Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) is naked before God,
And Abaddon (the place of destruction) has no covering [from His eyes].
7“It is He who spreads out the north over emptiness
And #26:7 Job reveals a remarkable understanding of God’s power and His amazing universe.hangs the earth on nothing.
8“He wraps the waters in His clouds [which otherwise would spill on earth all at once],
And the cloud does not burst under them.
9“He covers the face of the #26:9 Or throne.full moon
And spreads His cloud over it.
10“He has inscribed a circular limit (the horizon) on the face of the waters
At the boundary between light and darkness.
11“The pillars of the heavens tremble
And are terrified at His rebuke.
12“He stirred up the sea by His power,
And by His understanding He smashed [proud] #26:12 I.e. a legendary and horrifying sea monster.Rahab.
13“By His breath the heavens are cleared;
His hand has pierced the [swiftly] fleeing serpent. [Ps 33:6]
14“Yet these are just the fringes of His ways [mere samples of His power],
The faintest whisper of His voice!
Who can contemplate the thunder of His [full] mighty power?”

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?
