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