Job 26

Common English Bible CEB

1 Then Job said:

2 How well you have helped the weak, saved those with frail arms,

3 advised one lacking wisdom, informed many with insight!

4 With whom have you spoken; whose breath was expelled from you?

5 The dead writhe, the inhabitants beneath the waters as well.

6 The grave is naked before God; the underworld lacks covering.

7 He stretched the North over chaos, hung earth over nothing;

8 wrapped up water in his clouds, yet they didn't burst out below;

9 hid the face of the full moon, spreading his cloud over it;

10 traced a circle on the water's surface, at the limit of light and darkness.

11 Heaven's pillars shook, terrified by his blast.

12 By his power he stilled the Sea; split Rahab with his cleverness.

13 Due to his wind, heaven became clear; his hand split the fleeing serpent.

14 Look, these are only the outer fringe of his ways; we hear only a whispered word about him. Who can understand his thunderous power?

English Standard Version ESV

1 Then Job answered and said:

2 “How you have helped him who has no power! How you have saved the arm that has no strength!

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

4 With whose help have you uttered words, and whose breath has come out from you?

5 The dead tremble under the waters and their inhabitants.

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

7 He stretches out the north over the void and hangs the earth on nothing.

8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not split open under them.

9 He covers the face of the full moon and spreads over it his cloud.

10 He has inscribed a circle on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.

11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astounded at his rebuke.

12 By his power he stilled the sea; by his understanding he shattered Rahab.

13 By his wind the heavens were made fair; his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.

14 Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways, and how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand? ”
