26:2 “What great help you bring to the powerless! what deliverance to the arm without strength!
26:3 Such wonderful advice for a man lacking wisdom! So much common sense you’ve expressed!
26:4 Who helped you to say these words? Whose spirit is it, coming forth from you?
26:5 “The ghosts of the dead tremble beneath the water, with its creatures.
26:6 Sh’ol is naked before him; Abaddon lies uncovered.
26:7 He stretches the north over chaos and suspends the earth on nothing.
26:8 He binds up the water in his thick clouds, yet no cloud is torn apart by it.
26:9 He shuts off the view of his throne by spreading his cloud across it.
26:10 He fixed a circle on the surface of the water, defining the boundary between light and dark.
26:11 The pillars of heaven tremble, aghast at his rebuke.
26:12 He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his skill he strikes down Rahav.
26:13 With his Spirit he spreads the heavens; his hand pierces the fleeing serpent.
26:14 And these are but the fringes of his ways; how faint the echo we hear of him! But who is able to grasp the meaning of his thundering power?”
