Job 26

1 Then Job replied:

1 Then Job said:

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

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

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

3 advised one lacking wisdom, informed many with insight!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

13 Due to his wind, heaven became clear; his hand split the fleeing 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?”

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?
