Job’s reply
26
✭But Job answered and said,2 📚“How you have helped the powerless! How you have saved the feeble arm!
Job’s determination
3 📚What counsel you have given to one without wisdom! What abundant advice you have made known!
4 📚To whom have you spoken these words? And whose spirit came speaking through you?
5 📚✭“The dead tremble, those under the waters, and all that live in them.
6 📚Hell✭ is naked before him, and destruction✭ has no covering.
7 📚✭He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.
8 📚He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, but the cloud is not torn under the weight of them.
9 📚He covers the face of his throne✭, and spreads his cloud over it.
10 📚He draws a circle on the surface of the waters at the boundary of light and darkness.
11 📚At his rebuke the pillars of the heavens tremble, and are appalled.
12 📚He divided the sea by his power, and by his understanding struck down the proud✭.
13 📚By his Spirit the heavens became bright. His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
14 📚✭See, these are but the edges of his ways; and how faint a whisper we hear of him! Then who can understand the thunder of his power?”
