Job 26

Job: Man’s Frailty and God’s Majesty¹But Job answered and said: ²“How have you helped him who is without power? How have you saved the arm that has no strength? ³How have you counseled one who has no wisdom? And how have you declared sound advice to many? ⁴To whom have you uttered words? And whose spirit came from you? ⁵“The dead tremble, Those under the waters and those inhabiting them. ⁶Sheol is naked before Him, And Destruction has no covering. ⁷He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth on nothing. ⁸He binds up the water in His thick clouds, Yet the clouds are not broken under it. ⁹He covers the face of His throne, And spreads His cloud over it. ¹⁰He drew a circular horizon on the face of the waters, At the boundary of light and darkness. ¹¹The pillars of heaven tremble, And are astonished at His rebuke. ¹²He stirs up the sea with His power, And by His understanding He breaks up the storm. ¹³By His Spirit He adorned the heavens; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent. ¹⁴Indeed these are the mere edges of His ways, And how small a whisper we hear of Him! But the thunder of His power who can understand?”
