26:1  Then Job responded:
26:2  How marvelously you have helped the helpless! How wonderfully you have saved the arm that has no strength!
26:3  What great advice you have given to the one who lacks wisdom! What great insight you have revealed!
26:4  Who helped you proclaim these words? Whose breath came out of your mouth?
26:5  The spirits of the dead writhe in pain underneath the waters, along with all those who dwell there.
26:6  Hell is naked before God, and there is nowhere to hide in the place of destruction.
26:7  He stretches out the northern sky across the emptiness. He suspends the earth on nothing.
26:8  He encloses water in his clouds, but the clouds are not broken apart by its weight.
26:9  He dims the face of the full moon by veiling it with his clouds.
26:10  He drew a circle around the surface of the waters. It marks the boundary of light and darkness.
26:11  The pillars of the heavens shake. They are stunned by his rebuke.
26:12  By his power he calmed the sea. By his understanding he smashed Rahab.
26:13  By his breath the skies became beautiful. His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
26:14  But all these are just the fringe of his ways! How faint a whisper we hear of him! Who understands his power, which is displayed in the thunder?
