26:1  Then Job answered:
26:2  “You are no help to a person who has no strength! You have given no help to one whose arm is weak!
26:3  You have given advice to me as if I had no wisdom! This is not great wisdom you have shown!
26:4  Who has helped you say these words? And where did you get these words you speak?
26:5  “The spirits of the dead beneath the waters shake. And so do those that live 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 he hangs the earth on nothing.
26:8  God wraps up the waters in his thick clouds. But the clouds do not break under the weight of the water.
26:9  God covers the face of the full moon. He spreads his clouds over it.
26:10  God 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  God’s power controls the sea. By his wisdom he destroyed Rahab, the sea monster.
26:13  God breathes, and the sky becomes clear. God’s hand stabs the gliding snake.
26:14  And these are only a small part of God’s works. We only hear a small whisper of him. So who can understand God’s thundering power?”
