Job 26

The Message Bible MSG

1 Job answered:

2 "Well, you've certainly been a great help to a helpless man! You came to the rescue just in the nick of time!

3 What wonderful advice you've given to a mixed-up man! What amazing insights you've provided!

4 Where in the world did you learn all this? How did you become so inspired?

5 "All the buried dead are in torment, and all who've been drowned in the deep, deep sea.

6 Hell is ripped open before God, graveyards dug up and exposed.

7 He spreads the skies over unformed space, hangs the earth out in empty space.

8 He pours water into cumulus cloud-bags and the bags don't burst.

9 He makes the moon wax and wane, putting it through its phases.

10 He draws the horizon out over the ocean, sets a boundary between light and darkness.

11 Thunder crashes and rumbles in the skies. Listen! It's God raising his voice!

12 By his power he stills sea storms, by his wisdom he tames sea monsters.

13 With one breath he clears the sky, with one finger he crushes the sea serpent.

14 And this is only the beginning, a mere whisper of his rule. Whatever would we do if he really raised his voice!"

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? ”
