Job 26 : 1 - 14
Chapter 26
1 | But Job answered and said:
|
2 | "How have you helped him who is without power? How have you saved the arm that has no strength?
|
3 | How have you counseled one who has no wisdom? And how have you declared sound advice to many?
|
4 | To whom have you uttered words? And whose spirit came from you?
|
5 | "The dead tremble, Those under the waters and those inhabiting them.
|
6 | Sheol is naked before Him, And Destruction has no covering.
|
7 | He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth on nothing.
|
8 | He binds up the water in His thick clouds, Yet the clouds are not broken under it.
|
9 | He covers the face of His throne, And spreads His cloud over it.
|
10 | He drew a circular horizon on the face of the waters, At the boundary of light and darkness.
|
11 | The pillars of heaven tremble, And are astonished at His rebuke.
|
12 | He stirs up the sea with His power, And by His understanding He breaks up the storm.
|
13 | By His Spirit He adorned the heavens; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
|
14 | Indeed these are the mere edges of His ways, And how small a whisper we hear of Him! But the thunder of His power who can understand?"
