Job - Chapter 26

¹ Job spoke next. He said:

² To one so weak, what a help you are, for the arm that is powerless, what a rescuer!

³ What excellent advice you give the unlearned, you are never at a loss for a helpful suggestion!

⁴ For whom are these words of yours intended and whence comes that wit you are now displaying?

⁵ The Shadows tremble underneath the earth, the waters and their denizens are afraid.

⁶ Before his eyes, Sheol is bare, Perdition itself is uncovered.

⁷ He it was who spread the North above the void and poised the earth on nothingness.

⁸ He fastens up the waters in his clouds, without the clouds giving way under their weight.

⁹ He covers the face of the full moon, spreading his cloud across it.

¹⁰ He has traced a ring on the surface of the waters, at the boundary between light and dark.

¹¹ The pillars of the heavens tremble, awe-struck at his threats.

¹² By his power, he has whipped up the Sea, by his skill, he has crushed Rahab.

¹³ His breath has made the heavens luminous, his hand transfixed the Fleeing Serpent.

¹⁴ This is only a fraction of what he has done and all we catch of it is the feeblest echo. But who can conceive the thunder of his power?
