Job 26

¹And Job answereth and saith:— ²What—thou hast helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong! ³What—thou hast given counsel to the unwise, And wise plans in abundance made known. ⁴With whom hast thou declared words? And whose breath came forth from thee?

⁵The Rephaim are formed, Beneath the waters, also their inhabitants. ⁶Naked is Sheol over-against Him, And there is no covering to destruction. ⁷Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth upon nothing, ⁸Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not rent under them. ⁹Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading over it His cloud. ¹⁰A limit He hath placed on the waters, Unto the boundary of light with darkness. ¹¹Pillars of the heavens do tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke. ¹²By His power He hath quieted the sea, And by His understanding smitten the proud. ¹³By His Spirit the heavens He beautified, Formed hath His hand the fleeing serpent. ¹⁴Lo, these are the borders of His way, And how little a matter is heard of Him, And the thunder of His might Who doth understand?
