←Prev   Job 26 as rendered by/in  Next→ 



26:1  Then Job answered and said:
26:2  What help you give to the powerless, what strength to the feeble arm!
26:3  How you give counsel to one without wisdom; how profuse is the advice you offer!
26:4  With whose help have you uttered those words, whose breath comes forth from you?
26:5  The shades beneath writhe in terror, the waters, and their inhabitants.
26:6  Naked before him is Sheol, and Abaddon has no covering.
26:7  He stretches out Zaphon over the void, and suspends the earth over nothing at all;
26:8  He binds up the waters in his clouds, yet the cloud is not split by their weight;
26:9  He holds back the appearance of the full moon by spreading his clouds before it.
26:10  He has marked out a circle on the surface of the deep as the boundary of light and darkness.
26:11  The pillars of the heavens tremble and are stunned at his thunderous rebuke;
26:12  By his power he stilled Sea, by his skill he crushed Rahab;
26:13  By his wind the heavens were made clear, his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
26:14  Lo, these are but the outlines of his ways, and what a whisper of a word we hear of him: Who can comprehend the thunder of his power?
