| |
| | Job 26:2 | "How you have helped the powerless! How you have saved the arm that is feeble!
| |
| | Job 26:3 | What advice you have offered to one without wisdom! And what great insight you have displayed!
| |
| | Job 26:4 | Who has helped you utter these words? And whose spirit spoke from your mouth?
| |
| | Job 26:5 | "The dead are in deep anguish, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
| |
| | Job 26:6 | Death is naked before God; Destruction lies uncovered.
| |
| | Job 26:7 | He spreads out the northern [skies] over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing.
| |
| | Job 26:8 | He wraps up the waters in his clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their weight.
| |
| | Job 26:9 | He covers the face of the full moon, spreading his clouds over it.
| |
| | Job 26:10 | He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters for a boundary between light and darkness.

| |
| | Job 26:12 | By his power he churned up the sea; by his wisdom he cut Rahab to pieces.
| |
| | Job 26:13 | By his breath the skies became fair; his hand pierced the gliding serpent.
| |
| | Job 26:14 | And these are but the outer fringe of his works; how faint the whisper we hear of him! Who then can understand the thunder of his power?"
