Job 26

Job Rebukes Bildad

1Then Job responded,2“What a help you are to 12the weak! You have saved the arm 3without strength!3What advice you have given to one without wisdom! What helpful insight you have abundantly 4provided!4To whom have you uttered words? And whose 5spirit was expressed through you?

The Greatness of God

5“The 67departed spirits are made to tremble Under the waters and their inhabitants.689Sheol is naked before Him, And 1011Abaddon has no covering.7He 12stretches out the north over empty space And hangs the earth on nothing.8He 13wraps up the waters in His clouds, And the cloud does not burst under them.9He 1415obscures the face of the 16full moon And spreads His cloud over it.10He has inscribed a 17circle on the surface of the waters At the 18boundary of light and darkness.11The pillars of heaven tremble And are amazed at His rebuke.12With His power He 19quieted the sea, And by His 20understanding He shattered 2122Rahab.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?”
