Job 26  Lexham English Bible

² “How you^[b] have helped one who has no power!^[c]
How you^[d] have assisted the arm that has no strength!^[e]
3 How you^[f] have advised one who has no wisdom!^[g]
And what sound wisdom you^[h] have made known in abundance!^[i]
4 With whose help^[j] have you^[k] uttered words,
and whose breath has come forth from you?^[l]
5 “The spirits of the dead tremble
below the waters and their inhabitants.
⁶ Sheol is naked before him,
and there is no covering for Abaddon.
⁷ He stretches out the north over emptiness;
he hangs the earth over nothing.^[m]
8 He ties up the water in its clouds,
and the cloud is not torn open beneath it.^[n]
9 He covers the face of the full moon;^[o]
he spreads his cloud over it.
¹⁰ He has described a circle^[p] on the face of the water
between light and darkness.^[q]
11 “The pillars of heaven tremble,
and they are astounded at his rebuke.
¹² By his power he stilled the sea,
and by his understanding he struck down Rahab.
¹³ By his breath the heavens were made clear;^[r]
his hand pierced the fleeing snake.
¹⁴ Look, these are the outer fringes of his ways,
and how faint is the word^[s] that we hear of him!
But^[t] who can understand the thunder of his power?”
