Job 26 - Common English BibleSarcasm1 Then Job said: 2 How well you have helped the weak, saved those with frail arms, 3 advised one lacking wisdom, informed many with insight! Truth about God4 With whom have you spoken; whose breath was expelled from you? 5 The dead writhe, the inhabitants beneath the waters as well. 6 The grave is naked before God; the underworld lacks covering. 7 He stretched the North over chaos, hung earth over nothing; 8 wrapped up water in his clouds, yet they didn’t burst out below; 9 hid the face of the full moon, spreading his cloud over it; 10 traced a circle on the water’s surface, at the limit of light and darkness. 11 Heaven’s pillars shook, terrified by his blast. 12 By his power he stilled the Sea; split Rahab with his cleverness. 13 Due to his wind, heaven became clear; his hand split the fleeing serpent. 14 Look, these are only the outer fringe of his ways; we hear only a whispered word about him. Who can understand his thunderous power? |
