Job - Chapter 26 - A Conservative Version
- Then Job answered, and said,
- How thou have helped him who is without power! How thou have saved the arm that has no strength!
- How thou have counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
- To whom have thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?
- Those who are deceased tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants of it.
- Sheol is naked before [God], and Abaddon has no covering.
- He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth upon nothing.
- He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not rent under them.
- He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud upon it.
- He has described a boundary upon the face of the waters, to the confines of light and darkness.
- The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
- He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smites through Rahab.
- By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
- Lo, these are but the periphery of his ways. And how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?
