26:1 | | Then Job made answer and said, |
26:2 | | How have you given help to him who has no power! how have you been the salvation of the arm which has no strength! |
26:3 | | How have you given teaching to him who has no wisdom, and fully made clear true knowledge! |
26:4 | | To whom have your words been said? and whose spirit came out from you? |
26:5 | | The shades in the underworld are shaking; the waters and those living in them. |
26:6 | | The underworld is uncovered before him, and Destruction has no veil. |
26:7 | | By his hand the north is stretched out in space, and the earth is hanging on nothing. |
26:8 | | By him the waters are shut up in his thick clouds, and the cloud does not give way under them. |
26:9 | | By him the face of his high seat is veiled, and his cloud stretched out over it. |
26:10 | | By him a circle is marked out on the face of the waters, to the limits of the light and the dark. |
26:11 | | The pillars of heaven are shaking, and are overcome by his sharp words. |
26:12 | | By his power the sea was made quiet; and by his wisdom Rahab was wounded. |
26:13 | | By his wind the heavens become bright: by his hand the quickly moving snake was cut through. |
26:14 | | See, these are only the outskirts of his ways; and how small is that which comes to our ears about him! But the thunder of his acts of power is outside all knowledge. |
