Job 26

New King James Version

² “How have you helpedhim who iswithout power?
Howhave you saved the armthat hasno strength?
³ How have you counseledone who hasno wisdom?
Andhowhave you declared sound advice to many?
⁴ To whom have you uttered words?
And whose spirit came from you?

⁵ “The dead tremble,
Those under the waters and those inhabiting them.
^6 (A)Sheolisnaked before Him,
And Destruction has no covering.
^7 (B)He stretches out the north over empty space;
Hehangs the earth on nothing.
^8 (C)He binds up the water in His thick clouds,
Yet the clouds^[a]are not broken under it.
⁹ He covers the face ofHisthrone,
Andspreads His cloud over it.
^10 (D)He drew a circular horizon on the face of the waters,
At the boundary of light and darkness.
¹¹ The pillars of heaven tremble,
And are^[b]astonished at His rebuke.
^12 (E)He stirs up the sea with His power,
And by His understanding He breaks up^[c]the storm.
^13 (F)By His Spirit He adorned the heavens;
His hand pierced^(G)the fleeing serpent.
¹⁴ Indeed thesearethe mere edges of His ways,
And how small a whisper we hear of Him!
But the thunder of His power who can understand?”
