Job 26
26
1Then 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 plentifully declared sound knowledge!
4To 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.
6Sheol#26:6 Sheol is the place of the dead. is naked before God,
and Abaddon#26:6 Abaddon means Destroyer. has no covering.
7He stretches out the north over empty space,
and hangs the earth on nothing.
8He binds up the waters in his thick clouds,
and the cloud is not burst under them.
9He encloses the face of his throne,
and spreads his cloud on it.
10He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters,
and to the confines of light and darkness.
11The pillars of heaven tremble
and are astonished at his rebuke.
12He stirs up the sea with his power,
and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
13By his Spirit the heavens are garnished.
His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
14Behold, 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?”

Job 26
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?
