26 Then Job answered:
2 How you have helped s the powerless
and delivered the arm that is weak!
3 How you have counseled the unwise t
and thoroughly explained the path to success!
4 Who did you speak these words to?
Whose breath came out of your mouth?
5 The departed spirits tremble
beneath the waters and all that inhabit them. u
6 * Sheol v is naked before God,
and * Abaddon w has no covering. x
7 He stretches the northern skies over empty space;
He hangs the earth on nothing.
8 He wraps up the waters in His clouds,
yet the clouds do not burst beneath their weight. y
9 He obscures the view of His throne,
spreading His cloud over it.
10 He laid out the horizon on the surface of the waters z
at the boundary between light and darkness.
11 The pillars that hold up the sky tremble,
astounded at His rebuke. a
12 By His power He stirred b the sea,
and by His understanding He crushed * Rahab. c
13 By His breath the heavens gained their beauty;
His hand pierced the fleeing serpent. d e
14 These are but the fringes of His ways;
how faint is the word we hear of Him!
Who can understand His mighty thunder?
