Job 26:1-9

1 Y respondió Job, y dijo

2 ¿En qué ayudaste al que no tiene fuerza? ¿Has salvado con tu brazo al que no tiene fortaleza

3 ¿En qué aconsejaste al que no tiene ciencia, y mostraste bien cómo son las cosas

4 ¿A quién has anunciado palabras, y de quién es el espíritu que de ti sale

5 Cosas muertas son formadas debajo de las aguas, y de sus moradas

6 El Seol es descubierto delante de él, y el infierno no tiene cobertura

7 Extiende el aquilón sobre vacío, cuelga la tierra sobre nada

8 Ata las aguas en sus nubes, y las nubes no se rompen debajo de ellas

9 El aprieta la faz de su trono, y extiende sobre él su nube

Job 26:1-9 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JOB 26

In this chapter Job, in a very sarcastic manner, rallies Bildad on the weakness and impertinence of his reply, and sets it in a very ridiculous light; showing it to be quite foolish and stupid, and not at all to the purpose, and besides was none of his own, but what he had borrowed from another, Job 26:1-4; and if it was of any avail in the controversy to speak of the greatness and majesty of God, of his perfections and attributes, of his ways and works, he could say greater and more glorious things of God than he had done, and as he does, Job 26:5-13; beginning at the lower parts of the creation, and gradually ascending to the superior and celestial ones; and concludes with observing, that, after all, it was but little that was known of God and his ways, by himself, by Bildad, or by any mortal creature, Job 26:14.
