26:1  Then Job answered and said,
26:2  “How you have helped one who has no power! How you have assisted the arm that has no strength!
26:3  How you have advised one who has no wisdom! And what sound wisdom you have made known in abundance!
26:4  With whose help have you uttered words, and whose breath has come forth from you?
26:5  “The spirits of the dead tremble below the waters and their inhabitants.
26:6  Sheol is naked before him, and there is no covering for Abaddon.
26:7  He stretches out the north over emptiness; he hangs the earth over nothing.
26:8  He ties up the water in its clouds, and the cloud is not torn open beneath it.
26:9  He covers the face of the full moon; he spreads his cloud over it.
26:10  He has described a circle on the face of the water between light and darkness.
26:11  “The pillars of heaven tremble, and they are astounded at his rebuke.
26:12  By his power he stilled the sea, and by his understanding he struck down Rahab.
26:13  By his breath the heavens were made clear; his hand pierced the fleeing snake.
26:14  Look, these are the outer fringes of his ways, and how faint is the word that we hear of him! But who can understand the thunder of his power?”
