Job 26 (NIV11)
1 Then Job replied: 2 “How you have helped the powerless!How you have saved the arm that is feeble! 3 What advice you have offered to one without wisdom!And what great insight you have displayed! 4 Who has helped you utter these words?And whose spirit spoke from your mouth? 5 “The dead are in deep anguish,those beneath the waters and all that live in them. 6 The realm of the dead is naked before God;Destruction lies uncovered. 7 He spreads out the northern skies over empty space;he suspends the earth over nothing. 8 He wraps up the waters in his clouds,yet the clouds do not burst under their weight. 9 He covers the face of the full moon,spreading his clouds over it. 10 He marks out the horizon on the face of the watersfor a boundary between light and darkness. 11 The pillars of the heavens quake,aghast at his rebuke. 12 By his power he churned up the sea;by his wisdom he cut Rahab to pieces. 13 By his breath the skies became fair;his hand pierced the gliding serpent. 14 And these are but the outer fringe of his works;how faint the whisper we hear of him!Who then can understand the thunder of his power?”
