26:1  Then Job replied:
26:2  ‘How you have helped the powerless! How you have saved the arm that is feeble!
26:3  What advice you have offered to one without wisdom! And what great insight you have displayed!
26:4  Who has helped you utter these words? And whose spirit spoke from your mouth?
26:5  ‘The dead are in deep anguish, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
26:6  The realm of the dead is naked before God; Destruction lies uncovered.
26:7  He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing.
26:8  He wraps up the waters in his clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their weight.
26:9  He covers the face of the full moon, spreading his clouds over it.
26:10  He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters for a boundary between light and darkness.
26:11  The pillars of the heavens quake, aghast at his rebuke.
26:12  By his power he churned up the sea; by his wisdom he cut Rahab to pieces.
26:13  By his breath the skies became fair; his hand pierced the gliding serpent.
26:14  And these are but the outer fringe of his works; how faint the whisper we hear of him! Who then can understand the thunder of his power?’
