| 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. -
