Job
Chapter 26
- 1
Then Job spoke again:
- 2
“How you have helped the powerless! How you have saved the weak!
- 3
How you have enlightened my stupidity! What wise advice you have offered!
- 4
Where have you gotten all these wise sayings? Whose spirit speaks through you?
- 5
“The dead tremble — those who live beneath the waters.
- 6
The underworld is naked in God’s presence. The place of destruction is uncovered.
- 7
God stretches the northern sky over empty space and hangs the earth on nothing.
- 8
He wraps the rain in his thick clouds, and the clouds don’t burst with the weight.
- 9
He covers the face of the moon, shrouding it with his clouds.
- 10
He created the horizon when he separated the waters; he set the boundary between day and night.
- 11
The foundations of heaven tremble; they shudder at his rebuke.
- 12
By his power the sea grew calm. By his skill he crushed the great sea monster.
- 13
His Spirit made the heavens beautiful, and his power pierced the gliding serpent.
- 14
These are just the beginning of all that he does, merely a whisper of his power. Who, then, can comprehend the thunder of his power?”
