Job 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?

Job 26
26
1 BUT JOB answered,
2 How you have helped him who is without power! How you have sustained the arm that is without strength!
3 How you have counseled him who has no wisdom! And how plentifully you have declared to him sound knowledge!
4 With whose assistance have you uttered these words? And whose spirit [inspired what] came forth from you?
5 The shades of the dead tremble underneath the waters and their inhabitants.
6 Sheol (the place of the dead) is naked before God, and Abaddon (the place of destruction) has no covering [from His eyes].
7 He it is Who spreads out the northern skies over emptiness and hangs the earth upon or over nothing.
8 He holds the waters bound in His clouds [which otherwise would spill on earth all at once], and the cloud is not rent under them.
9 He covers the face of His throne and spreads over it His cloud.
10 He has placed an enclosing limit [the horizon] upon the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.
11 The pillars of the heavens tremble and are astonished at His rebuke.
12 He stills or stirs up the sea by His power, and by His understanding He smites proud Rahab.
13 By His breath the heavens are garnished; His hand pierced the [swiftly] fleeing serpent. [Ps. 33:6.]
14 Yet these are but [a small part of His doings] the outskirts of His ways or the mere fringes of His force, the faintest whisper of His voice! Who dares contemplate or who can understand the thunders of His full, magnificent power?
