Job 26:7-14

7 Dios extiende el cielo del norte sobre el espacio vacío
y cuelga a la tierra sobre la nada.

8 Envuelve la lluvia con sus densas nubes
y las nubes no estallan con el peso.

9 Él cubre el rostro de la luna
y la envuelve con las nubes.

10 Él creó el horizonte cuando separó las aguas;
estableció los límites entre el día y la noche.

11 Los cimientos del cielo tiemblan;
se estremecen ante su reprensión.

12 El mar se calmó por su poder;
con su destreza aplastó al gran monstruo marino.

13 Su Espíritu hizo hermosos los cielos,
y su poder atravesó a la serpiente deslizante.

14 Eso es solo el comienzo de todo lo que él hace,
apenas un susurro de su poder.
¿Quién podrá, entonces, comprender el trueno de su poder?».

Job 26:7-14 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.
