Parallel
Job 26
World English Bible British Edition · Berean Standard Bible
“How have you helped him who is without power!
“How you have helped the powerless and saved the arm that is feeble!
How have you counselled him who has no wisdom,
How you have counseled the unwise and provided fully sound insight!
To whom have you uttered words?
To whom have you uttered these words? And whose spirit spoke through you?
“The departed spirits tremble,
The dead tremble—those beneath the waters and those who dwell in them.
Sheol is naked before God,
Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon (note: Abaddon means Destruction.) has no covering.
He stretches out the north over empty space,
He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth upon nothing.
He binds up the waters in his thick clouds,
He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight.
He encloses the face of his throne,
He covers the face of the full moon (note: Or of His throne), spreading over it His cloud.
He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters,
He has inscribed a horizon on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.
He stirs up the sea with his power,
By His power He stirred (note: Or stilled) the sea; by His understanding He shattered Rahab.
By his Spirit the heavens are garnished.
By His breath the skies were cleared; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent (note: Hebrew nachash; translated in most cases as snake).
Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways.
Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways; how faint is the whisper we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His power?”
