Job 26

₂‘You have not helped me at all.

You think that you have saved me

because I am weak,

but you have not.

₃You think that you have given me

wisdom and told me what to do.

₄Who told you what you must say to me?

Who gave you those words?’

₅‘The dead people tremble under the water,

those under the waters

and all who live in the water.

₆God sees everyone in the underworld,

and no one can hide from Him.

₇God put up the northern sky

like a tent where there was nothing,

and He hooked the earth onto nothing.

₈God makes the clouds full of rain water

but the clouds do not break

because of all the water in them.

₉God hides his throne in heaven

behind the clouds.

₁₀He has put the horizon where the light stops

and the darkness begins, around the sea.

₁₁When God becomes angry

and speaks through thunder,

the pillars of the expanse tremble.

₁₂God is strong, and He calms the sea.

God has all the wisdom.

He destroyed Rahab, the sea monster.

₁₃God makes the wind blow to clean the air.

His strong hand killed the snake

when it wanted to flee.

₁₄And these are only a few

of the things that God has done.

He has done a lot more

but we know very little of what He has done.

No one can understand God

or know how great his power is.’
