Job 26:2

How hast thou helped him that is without power!

How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!

Job 26:3

How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom,

And plentifully declared sound knowledge!

Job 26:4

To whom hast thou uttered words?

And whose spirit came forth from thee?

The Greatness of God

They that are deceased tremble

Beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.

Job 26:6

Sheol is naked before God,

And Abaddon hath no covering.

He stretcheth out the north over empty space,

And hangeth the earth upon nothing.

He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds;

And the cloud is not rent under them.

Job 26:9

He incloseth the face of his throne,

And spreadeth his cloud upon it.

Job 26:10

He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters,

Unto the confines of light and darkness.

Job 26:11

The pillars of heaven tremble

And are astonished at his rebuke.

Job 26:12

He stirreth up the sea with his power,

And by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.

Job 26:13

By his Spirit the heavens are garnished;

His hand hath pierced the swift serpent.

Job 26:14

Lo, these are but the outskirts of his ways:

And how small a whisper do we hear of him!

But the thunder of his power who can understand?
