26:1  Then Job replied:
26:2  "How you have helped the powerless! How you have saved the person who has no strength!
26:3  How you have advised the one without wisdom, and abundantly revealed your insight!
26:4  To whom did you utter these words? And whose spirit has come forth from your mouth?
26:5  "The dead tremble--those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
26:6  The underworld is naked before God; the place of destruction lies uncovered.
26:7  He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth on nothing.
26:8  He locks the waters in his clouds, and the clouds do not burst with the weight of them.
26:9  He conceals the face of the full moon, shrouding it with his clouds.
26:10  He marks out the horizon on the surface of the waters as a boundary between light and darkness.
26:11  The pillars of the heavens tremble and are amazed at his rebuke.
26:12  By his power he stills the sea; by his wisdom he cut Rahab the great sea monster to pieces.
26:13  By his breath the skies became fair; his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
26:14  Indeed, these are but the outer fringes of his ways! How faint is the whisper we hear of him! But who can understand the thunder of his power?"
