Job 26

Lexham English Bible LEB

1 Then Job answered and said,

2 "How you have helped {one who has no power}! [How] you have assisted [the] arm {that has no strength}!

3 How you have advised {one who has no wisdom}! And [what] sound wisdom you have made known {in abundance}!

4 {With whose help} have you uttered words, and whose breath has come forth from you?

5 "The spirits of the dead tremble below [the] waters and their inhabitants.

6 Sheol [is] naked before him, and there is no covering for Abaddon.

7 He stretches out [the] north over emptiness; [he] hangs [the] earth {over nothing}.

8 [He] ties up [the] water in its clouds, and [the] cloud is not torn open beneath it.

9 [He] covers [the] face of [the] full moon; [he] spreads his cloud over it.

10 {He has described a circle} on [the] face of [the] water {between light and darkness}.

11 "[The] pillars of heaven tremble, and they are astounded at his rebuke.

12 By his power he stilled the sea, and by his understanding he struck down Rahab.

13 By his breath {the heavens were made clear}; his hand pierced [the] fleeing snake.

14 Look, these [are] the outer fringes of his ways, and {how faint is the word} [that] we hear of him! But who can understand the thunder of his power?"

New International Version NIV

1 Then Job replied:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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?”
