Job: God is Awesome
1Then Job responded and said:
2“How you have helped the powerless! How you have saved the arm without strength!
3How you have counseled the one without wisdom and revealed your abundant insights!
4To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit has come from your mouth?
5“The dead tremble— those beneath the water and all that live in them.
6Sheol is naked before Him; Abaddon has no covering.
7He stretches out the north over the void; He suspends the earth over nothing.
8He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under them.
9He covers the face of the full moon, spreading His clouds over it.
10He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters, for a boundary between light and dark.
11The pillars of heaven tremble, astounded at His rebuke!
12By His power He churns up the sea; by His understanding He smashed Rahab.
13By His Ruach the heavens are clear; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
14Indeed, these are but glimpses of His ways; how faint the whisper, we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His might?”

Job 26
26
Sarcasm
1Then Job said:
2How well you have helped the weak,
saved those with frail arms,
3advised one lacking wisdom,
informed many with insight!
4With whom have you spoken;#26.4 Or told words
whose breath was expelled from you?
Truth about God
5The dead writhe,
the inhabitants beneath the waters as well.
6The grave#26.6 Heb Sheol is naked before God;
the underworld#26.6 Heb Abaddon lacks covering.
7He stretched the North#26.7 Heb Zaphon over chaos,
hung earth over nothing;
8wrapped up water in his clouds,
yet they didn’t burst out below;
9hid the face of the full moon,#26.9 Or throne; Heb uncertain
spreading his cloud over it;
10traced a circle on the water’s surface,
at the limit of light and darkness.
11Heaven’s pillars shook,
terrified by his blast.
12By his power he stilled the Sea;
split Rahab with his cleverness.
13Due to his wind, heaven became clear;
his hand split the fleeing serpent.
14Look, these are only the outer fringe of his ways;
we hear only a whispered word about him.
Who can understand his thunderous power?
