^26:1 Then Job answered and said, ^26:2 How you have helped him who is without power! How you have saved the arm that has no strength! ^26:3 How you have counseled him who has no wisdom and plentifully declared sound-knowledge!

    ^26:4 To whom have you uttered words? And whose spirit came out from you?

    ^26:5 Those who are deceased tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants of it. ^26:6 Sheol is naked before God and Abaddon has no covering. ^26:7 He stretches out the north over empty space and hangs the earth upon nothing.

    ^26:8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds and the cloud is not burst under them. ^26:9 He encloses the face of his throne and spreads his cloud upon it. ^26:10 He has described a boundary upon the face of the waters, to the confines of light and darkness.

    ^26:11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke. ^26:12 He stirs up the sea with his power and by his understanding he slays through Rahab. ^26:13 By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.

    ^26:14 Behold, these are but the end of his ways. And how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?
