Job 26

Job Replies: God’s Majesty Is Unsearchable [1] Then Job answered and said: [2] “How you have helped him who has no power! How you have saved the arm that has no strength! [3] How you have counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge! [4] With whose help have you uttered words, and whose breath has come out from you? [5] The dead tremble under the waters and their inhabitants. [6] Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering. [7] He stretches out the north over the void and hangs the earth on nothing. [8] He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not split open under them. [9] He covers the face of the full moon and spreads over it his cloud. [10] He has inscribed a circle on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness. [11] The pillars of heaven tremble and are astounded at his rebuke. [12] By his power he stilled the sea; by his understanding he shattered Rahab. [13] By his wind the heavens were made fair; his hand pierced the fleeing serpent. [14] Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways, and how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?” (ESV)
