Job 26

¹ And Job answereth and saith: —

² What — thou hast helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!

³ What — thou hast given counsel to the unwise, And wise plans in abundance made known.

⁴ With whom hast thou declared words? And whose breath came forth from thee?

⁵ The Rephaim are formed, Beneath the waters, also their inhabitants.

⁶ Naked [is] Sheol over-against Him, And there is no covering to destruction.

⁷ Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth upon nothing,

⁸ Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not rent under them.

⁹ Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading over it His cloud.

¹⁰ A limit He hath placed on the waters, Unto the boundary of light with darkness.

¹¹ Pillars of the heavens do tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.

¹² By His power He hath quieted the sea, And by His understanding smitten the proud.

¹³ By His Spirit the heavens He beautified, Formed hath His hand the fleeing serpent.

¹⁴ Lo, these [are] the borders of His way, And how little a matter is heard of Him, And the thunder of His might Who doth understand?
