Job 26

Job Rebukes Bildad

1Then Job 1responded,2“What a help you are to 23the weak! How you have saved the arm 4without strength!3What counsel you have given to one without wisdom! What helpful insight you have abundantly 5provided!4To whom have you uttered words? And whose 6spirit was expressed through you?

The Greatness of God

5“The 78departed spirits tremble Under the waters and their inhabitants.6Naked is 910Sheol before Him, And 1112Abaddon has no covering.7He 13stretches out the north over empty space And hangs the earth on nothing.8He 14wraps up the waters in His clouds, And the cloud does not burst under them.9He 1516obscures the face of the 17full moon And spreads His cloud over it.10He has inscribed a 18circle on the surface of the waters At the 19boundary of light and darkness.11The pillars of heaven tremble And are amazed at His rebuke.12He 20quieted the sea with His power, And by His 21understanding He shattered 22Rahab.13By His breath the 23heavens are 24cleared; His hand has pierced 25the fleeing serpent.14Behold, these are the fringes of His ways; And how faint 26a word we hear of Him! But His mighty 27thunder, who can understand?”
