Job 26
26
1And Job answereth and saith: —
2What — thou hast helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
3What — thou hast given counsel to the unwise, And wise plans in abundance made known.
4With whom hast thou declared words? And whose breath came forth from thee?
5The Rephaim are formed, Beneath the waters, also their inhabitants.
6Naked [is] Sheol over-against Him, And there is no covering to destruction.
7Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth upon nothing,
8Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not rent under them.
9Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading over it His cloud.
10A limit He hath placed on the waters, Unto the boundary of light with darkness.
11Pillars of the heavens do tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
12By His power He hath quieted the sea, And by His understanding smitten the proud.
13By His Spirit the heavens He beautified, Formed hath His hand the fleeing serpent.
14Lo, these [are] the borders of His way, And how little a matter is heard of Him, And the thunder of His might Who doth understand?

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?
