Job 26:1Then Job answered and said,
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?

Beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.

And hangeth the earth upon nothing.

And the cloud is not rent under them.

And spreadeth his cloud upon it.

Unto the confines of light and darkness.

The pillars of heaven tremble
And are astonished at his rebuke.

And by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.

By his Spirit the heavens are garnished;
His hand hath pierced the swift serpent.

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?
