Job 26

1 Then Job said:

1 Then Job replied:

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

2 “How you have helped the powerless! How you have saved the arm that is feeble!

3 advised one lacking wisdom, informed many with insight!

3 What advice you have offered to one without wisdom! And what great insight you have displayed!

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

4 Who has helped you utter these words? And whose spirit spoke from your mouth?

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

5 “The dead are in deep anguish, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.

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

6 The realm of the dead is naked before God; Destruction lies uncovered.

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

7 He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing.

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

8 He wraps up the waters in his clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their weight.

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

9 He covers the face of the full moon, spreading his clouds over it.

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

10 He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters for a boundary between light and darkness.

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

11 The pillars of the heavens quake, aghast at his rebuke.

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

12 By his power he churned up the sea; by his wisdom he cut Rahab to pieces.

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

13 By his breath the skies became fair; his hand pierced the gliding 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?

14 And these are but the outer fringe of his works; how faint the whisper we hear of him! Who then can understand the thunder of his power?”
