Job 26

¹Then Job responded by saying

²Whose assistant are you? Is he weak-minded? And do you sustain the arm of him that is not strong

³To whom have you given advice? Perhaps it is to him that has no wisdom or prudence that you have revealed your many ideas

⁴Who is it that you wanted to teach? Was it not him that created the breath of life

⁵Behold, giant things groan under the waters, and they dwell with them

⁶The underworld is naked before him, and there is no covering for perdition

⁷He stretched out the North over emptiness, and he suspended the land over nothing

⁸He secures the waters in his clouds, so that they do not burst forth downward all at once

⁹He holds back the face of his throne, and he stretches his cloud over it

¹⁰He has set limits around the waters, until light and darkness shall reach their limit

¹¹The pillars of heaven tremble and are frightened at his nod

¹²By his strength, the seas suddenly gather together, and his foresight has struck the arrogant

¹³His spirit has adorned the heavens, and his birthing hand has brought forth the winding serpent

¹⁴Behold, these things have been said about his ways in part, and, since we barely have heard a small drop of his word, who will be able to gaze upon the thunder of his greatness
