26:2 Job (sarcastically): What a great help you are to the powerless! How you have held up the arm that is feeble and weak!
26:3 What sage counsel you have given to me, the unwise! And what immeasurable insight you have put on display for us!
26:4 Whom did you say these words to? Where did you get such profound inspiration?
26:5 The departed quiver below, down deep beneath the seas and all that is within them,
26:6 The land of the dead is exposed before God, and the place where destruction lies is uncovered in His presence.
26:7 He stretches out the northern sky over vast reaches of emptiness; He hangs the earth itself on nothing.
26:8 He binds up the waters into His clouds, but the cloud does not burst from the strain.
26:9 He conceals the sight of His throne and spreads His clouds over it to hide it from view.
26:10 He has encircled the waters with a horizon-boundary: the line between day and night, light and darkness.
26:11 The very pillars that hold up the sky quake and are astounded by His reprisals.
26:12 By His power, He stilled the sea, quelling the chaos; by His wisdom, He pierced Rahab, evil of the sea;
26:13 By His breath, the heavens are made beautifully clear; by His hand that ancient serpent—even as it attempted escape—is pierced through.
26:14 And all of this, all of these are the mere edges of His capabilities. We are privy to only a whisper of His power. Who then dares to claim understanding of His thunderous might?
