26:1  Job then answered with these words:
26:2  “What a help you are to the helpless, and what strength you are to the weak!
26:3  What good counsel you give to the ignorant! How abundantly you have manifested wisdom!
26:4  Who has helped you utter those words? And whose spirit issued forth from your mouth?
26:5  “The dead below tremble with fright, as do the waters and all their inhabitants.
26:6  The netherworld is laid bare before him, and Abaddon lies uncovered.
26:7  “He stretches out the North above the void and suspends the earth on nothingness.
26:8  He encloses the waters in dense clouds, yet the clouds are not torn asunder under their weight.
26:9  He veils the face of the full moon, spreading his clouds beneath it.
26:10  “He has established the horizon on the surface of the waters as the boundary between light and darkness.
26:11  The pillars of the heavens shake, stunned by the thunder of his voice.
26:12  By his power he churns up the sea, and by his skill he smites Rahab.
26:13  By his breath the skies are cleared, and by his hand he has pierced the fleeing serpent.
26:14  “These deeds are only a sample of what he has done, and how faint is the whisper that we hear of him, but who can possibly comprehend the thunder of his power?”
