26:2 ‘How you have helped one who has no power! How you have assisted the arm that has no strength!
26:3 How you have counselled one who has no wisdom, and given much good advice!
26:4 With whose help have you uttered words, and whose spirit has come forth from you?
26:5 The shades below tremble, the waters and their inhabitants.
26:6 Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.
26:7 He stretches out Zaphon over the void, and hangs the earth upon nothing.
26:8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not torn open by them.
26:9 He covers the face of the full moon, and spreads over it his cloud.
26:10 He has described a circle on the face of the waters, at the boundary between light and darkness.
26:11 The pillars of heaven tremble, and are astounded at his rebuke.
26:12 By his power he stilled the Sea; by his understanding he struck down Rahab.
26:13 By his wind the heavens were made fair; his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
26:14 These are indeed but the outskirts of his ways; and how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?’
