←Prev   Job 26 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


26:1  Then Job answered:
26:2  “You are no help to the helpless! You have not aided the weak!
26:3  Your advice lacks wisdom! You have shown little understanding!
26:4  Who has helped you say these words? And where did you get these ideas?
26:5  “The spirits of the dead tremble, those who are beneath and in the waters.
26:6  Death is naked before God; destruction is uncovered before him.
26:7  God stretches the northern sky out over empty space and hangs the earth on nothing.
26:8  He wraps up the waters in his thick clouds, but the clouds do not break under their weight.
26:9  He covers the face of the moon, spreading his clouds over it.
26:10  He draws the horizon like a circle on the water at the place where light and darkness meet.
26:11  Heaven’s foundations shake when he thunders at them.
26:12  With his power he quiets the sea; by his wisdom he destroys Rahab, the sea monster.
26:13  He breathes, and the sky clears. His hand stabs the fleeing snake.
26:14  And these are only a small part of God’s works. We only hear a small whisper of him. Who could understand God’s thundering power?”
