JOB 26 (NIV)
- Then Job replied:
- "How you have helped the powerless! How you have saved the arm that is feeble!
- What advice you have offered to one without wisdom! And what great insight you have displayed!
- Who has helped you utter these words? And whose spirit spoke from your mouth?
- "The dead are in deep anguish, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
- Death is naked before God; Destruction lies uncovered.
- He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing.
- He wraps the waters in his clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their weight.
- He covers the face of the full moon, spreading his clouds over it.
- He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters for a boundary between light and darkness.
- The pillars of the heavens quake, aghast at his rebuke.
- By his power he churned up the sea; by his wisdom he cut Rahab to pieces.
- By his breath the skies became fair; his hand pierced the gliding serpent.
- 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?
