Job 26

1
Then Job answered: Begin Abide·
2
“How you have helped the powerless and saved the arm that is feeble! Begin Abide·
3
How you have counseled the unwise and provided fully sound insight! Begin Abide·
4
To whom have you uttered these words? And whose spirit spoke through you? Begin Abide·
5
The dead tremble—those beneath the waters and those who dwell in them. Begin Abide·
6
Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering. Begin Abide·
7
He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth upon nothing. Begin Abide·
8
He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight. Begin Abide·
9
He covers the face of the full moon, spreading over it His cloud. Begin Abide·
10
He has inscribed a horizon on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness. Begin Abide·
11
The foundations of heaven quake, astounded at His rebuke. Begin Abide·
12
By His power He stirred the sea; by His understanding He shattered Rahab. Begin Abide·
13
By His breath the skies were cleared; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent. Begin Abide·
14
Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways; how faint is the whisper we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His power?” Begin Abide·
