Job 26 — ULB

26Verse 1Then Job answered and said,^{Verse 2}“How you have helped one who has no power!
How you have saved the arm that has no strength!
^{Verse 3}How you have advised one who has no wisdom
and announced to him sound knowledge!
^{Verse 4}With whose help have you spoken these words?
Whose spirit was it that came out from you?
^{Verse 5}The dead are made to tremble,
those who are beneath the waters
and all who dwell in them.
^{Verse 6}Sheol is naked before God;
destruction itself has no covering against him.
^{Verse 7}He stretches out the northern skies
over the empty space,
and he hangs the earth over nothing.
^{Verse 8}He binds up the waters in his thick clouds,
but the clouds are not torn under them.
^{Verse 9}He covers the surface of the moon
and spreads his clouds on it.
^{Verse 10}He has engraved a circular boundary on the surface of the waters
as the line between light and darkness.
^{Verse 11}The pillars of heaven tremble
and are astonished at his rebuke.
^{Verse 12}He calmed the sea with his power;
by his understanding he shattered Rahab.
^{Verse 13}By his breath he made the skies clear;
his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
^{Verse 14}See, these are but the fringes of his ways;
how small a whisper do we hear of him!
Who can understand the thunder of his power?”
