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?

Job 26
26
1 Then Job answered,
2“How have you helped him who is without power!
How have you saved the arm that has no strength!
3 How have you counselled him who has no wisdom,
and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
4 To whom have you uttered words?
Whose spirit came out of you?
5“The departed spirits tremble,
those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
6 Sheol # 26:6 Sheol is the place of the dead. is naked before God,
and Abaddon#26:6 Abaddon means Destroyer. has no covering.
7 He stretches out the north over empty space,
and hangs the earth on nothing.
8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds,
and the cloud is not burst under them.
9 He encloses the face of his throne,
and spreads his cloud on it.
10 He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters,
and to the confines of light and darkness.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble
and are astonished at his rebuke.
12 He stirs up the sea with his power,
and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
13 By his Spirit the heavens are garnished.
His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
14 Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways.
How small a whisper do we hear of him!
But the thunder of his power who can understand?”
