26:1  Then Job answered and said:
26:2  “How you have helped him who has no power! How you have saved the arm that has no strength!
26:3  How you have counselled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
26:4  With whose help have you uttered words, and whose breath has come out from you?
26:5  The dead tremble under the waters and their inhabitants.
26:6  Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.
26:7  He stretches out the north over the void and hangs the earth on nothing.
26:8  He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not split open under them.
26:9  He covers the face of the full moon and spreads over it his cloud.
26:10  He has inscribed a circle on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.
26:11  The pillars of heaven tremble and are astounded at his rebuke.
26:12  By his power he stilled the sea; by his understanding he shattered Rahab.
26:13  By his wind the heavens were made fair; his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
26:14  Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways, and how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?”
