Chapter 26

1


 

  Then Job made answer and said,  

 

 

--

2


 

  How have you given help to him who has no power! how have you been the salvation of the arm which has no strength!  

 

 

--

3


 

  How have you given teaching to him who has no wisdom, and fully made clear true knowledge!  

 

 

--

4


 

  To whom have your words been said? and whose spirit came out from you?  

 

 

--

5


 

  The shades in the underworld are shaking; the waters and those living in them.  

 

 

--

6


 

  The underworld is uncovered before him, and Destruction has no veil.  

 

 

--

7


 

  By his hand the north is stretched out in space, and the earth is hanging on nothing.  

 

 

--

8


 

  By him the waters are shut up in his thick clouds, and the cloud does not give way under them.  

 

 

--

9


 

  By him the face of his high seat is veiled, and his cloud stretched out over it.  

 

 

--

10


 

  By him a circle is marked out on the face of the waters, to the limits of the light and the dark.  

 

 

--

11


 

  The pillars of heaven are shaking, and are overcome by his sharp words.  

 

 

--

12


 

  By his power the sea was made quiet; and by his wisdom Rahab was wounded.  

 

 

--

13


 

  By his wind the heavens become bright: by his hand the quickly moving snake was cut through.  

 

 

--

14


 

  See, these are only the outskirts of his ways; and how small is that which comes to our ears about him! But the thunder of his acts of power is outside all knowledge.  

 

 

--
