Job 26:7-14

7 Extiende el aquilón sobre vacío, cuelga la tierra sobre nada.

8 Ata las aguas en sus nubes, y las nubes no se rompen debajo de ellas.

9 El aprieta la faz de su trono, y extiende sobre él su nube.

10 El cercó con término la superficie de las aguas, hasta que se acabe la luz y las tinieblas.

11 Las columnas del cielo tiemblan, y se espantan de su reprensión.

12 El rompe el mar con su potencia, y con su entendimiento hiere la hinchazón suya .

13 Su espíritu adornó los cielos; su mano creó la serpiente huidora.

14 He aquí, éstas son partes de sus caminos; ¡y cuán poco es lo que hemos oído de él! Porque el estruendo de sus fortalezas, ¿quién lo entenderá?

Job 26:7-14 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JOB 26

In this chapter Job, in a very sarcastic manner, rallies Bildad on the weakness and impertinence of his reply, and sets it in a very ridiculous light; showing it to be quite foolish and stupid, and not at all to the purpose, and besides was none of his own, but what he had borrowed from another, Job 26:1-4; and if it was of any avail in the controversy to speak of the greatness and majesty of God, of his perfections and attributes, of his ways and works, he could say greater and more glorious things of God than he had done, and as he does, Job 26:5-13; beginning at the lower parts of the creation, and gradually ascending to the superior and celestial ones; and concludes with observing, that, after all, it was but little that was known of God and his ways, by himself, by Bildad, or by any mortal creature, Job 26:14.
