NHEBME - Job - 26

26:1  Then Job answered,

26:2  "How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength!

26:3  How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!

26:4  To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came forth from you?

26:5  "Those who are deceased tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.

26:6  Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.

26:7  He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.

26:8  He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.

26:9  He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.

26:10  He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.

26:11  The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.

26:12  He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.

26:13  By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.

26:14  Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?"
