Job 26

Chapter14 versesOld Testament1 speaker

1 Then Job answered:

2 “How you have helped the powerless

and saved the arm that is feeble!

3 How you have counseled the unwise

and provided fully sound insight!

4 To whom have you uttered these words?

And whose spirit spoke through you?

5 The dead tremble—those

beneath the waters and those who dwell in them.

6 Sheol is naked before God,

and Abaddon ^ahas no covering.

7 He stretches out the north over empty space;

He hangs the earth upon nothing.

8 He wraps up the waters in His clouds,

yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight.

9 He covers the face of the full moon,

^bspreading over it His cloud.

10 He has inscribed a horizon on the face of the waters

at the boundary between light and darkness.

11 The foundations of heaven quake,

astounded at His rebuke.

12 By His power He stirred ^cthe sea;

by His understanding He shattered Rahab.

13 By His breath the skies were cleared;

His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.^d

14 Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways;

how faint is the whisper we hear of Him!

Who then can understand

the thunder of His power?”
