Job 26 · איוב

And Iyyov answered and said,

How hast thou helped him that is without power? how hast thou saved the arm that has no strength?

How hast thou counselled him that has no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared sound wisdom?

To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?

The shades tremble; the waters beneath with the inhabitants thereof.

She᾽ol is naked before him, and Avaddon has no covering.

He stretches out the north over the empty place, and hangs the earth upon nothing.

He binds up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.

He closes in the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud upon it.

He has compassed the waters with bounds, at the boundary between light and darkness.

The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.

He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smites through Rahav.

By his wind the heavens were made fair; his hand slew the slant serpent.

Lo, these are parts of his ways, and how terrifying is the thing that is heard of him; but the thunder of his power who can understand?
