Job 26 of 42

¹ Then Job answered: ² “How you have helped the powerless and saved the arm that is feeble! ³ How you have counseled the unwise and provided fully sound insight! ⁴ To whom have you uttered these words? And whose spirit spoke through you? ⁵ The dead tremble—those beneath the waters and those who dwell in them. ⁶ Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering. ⁷ He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth upon nothing. ⁸ He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight. ⁹ He covers the face of the full moon, spreading over it His cloud. ¹⁰ He has inscribed a horizon on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness. ¹¹ The foundations of heaven quake, astounded at His rebuke. ¹² By His power He stirred the sea; by His understanding He shattered Rahab. ¹³ By His breath the skies were cleared; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent. ¹⁴ Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways; how faint is the whisper we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His power?”
