Job 26

¹ So Job answered and said: ² "How you have helped one without vigor And saved an arm without strength! ³ How you have counseled one without wisdom, And the reality of things you have abundantly made known! ⁴ For whom have you told these declarations, And whose breath has come forth from you? ⁵ The Rephaim, they travailed, Those beneath the waters and tabernacling in them. ⁶ The unseen was naked in front of Him, And there was no covering for Abaddon. ⁷ He stretched out the north over the waste, Hanging the earth over the decay. ⁸ He bundled up the waters in thick clouds, And the cloud did not rend apart beneath them. ⁹ He held back the face of the full moon, Spreading over it His cloud. ¹⁰ He delineated a circle on the face of the waters, Unto the boundary of light with darkness. ¹¹ The columns of the heavens were made to collapse And were amazed at His rebuke. ¹² By His vigor He lulled the sea, And by His understanding He transfixed Rahab. ¹³ By His spirit the heavens were made seemly; His hand travailed with the fugitive serpent. ¹⁴ Behold, these are but the fringes of His ways, And what a small buzz of a word is heard of Him! Yet the thunder of His masterful deeds, who shall understand it?"
