26:1  Then Job spoke again:
26:2  "How you have helped the powerless! How you have saved the weak!
26:3  How you have enlightened my stupidity! What wise advice you have offered!
26:4  Where have you gotten all these wise sayings? Whose spirit speaks through you?
26:5  "The dead tremble--those who live beneath the waters.
26:6  The underworld is naked in God's presence. The place of destruction is uncovered.
26:7  God stretches the northern sky over empty space and hangs the earth on nothing.
26:8  He wraps the rain in his thick clouds, and the clouds don't burst with the weight.
26:9  He covers the face of the moon, shrouding it with his clouds.
26:10  He created the horizon when he separated the waters; he set the boundary between day and night.
26:11  The foundations of heaven tremble; they shudder at his rebuke.
26:12  By his power the sea grew calm. By his skill he crushed the great sea monster.
26:13  His Spirit made the heavens beautiful, and his power pierced the gliding serpent.
26:14  These are just the beginning of all that he does, merely a whisper of his power. Who, then, can comprehend the thunder of his power?"
