Job 26
ESV Parallel NET [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
English Standard VersionNET Bible
1Then Job answered and said:1Then Job replied:
2“How you have helped him who has no power! How you have saved the arm that has no strength!2"How you have helped the powerless! How you have saved the person who has no strength!
3How you have counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!3How you have advised the one without wisdom, and abundantly revealed your insight!
4With whose help have you uttered words, and whose breath has come out from you?4To whom did you utter these words? And whose spirit has come forth from your mouth?
5The dead tremble under the waters and their inhabitants.5"The dead tremble--those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
6Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.6The underworld is naked before God; the place of destruction lies uncovered.
7He stretches out the north over the void and hangs the earth on nothing.7He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth on nothing.
8He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not split open under them.8He locks the waters in his clouds, and the clouds do not burst with the weight of them.
9He covers the face of the full moon and spreads over it his cloud.9He conceals the face of the full moon, shrouding it with his clouds.
10He has inscribed a circle on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.10He marks out the horizon on the surface of the waters as a boundary between light and darkness.
11The pillars of heaven tremble and are astounded at his rebuke.11The pillars of the heavens tremble and are amazed at his rebuke.
12By his power he stilled the sea; by his understanding he shattered Rahab.12By his power he stills the sea; by his wisdom he cut Rahab the great sea monster to pieces.
13By his wind the heavens were made fair; his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.13By his breath the skies became fair; his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
14Behold, these are 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?”14Indeed, these are but the outer fringes of his ways! How faint is the whisper we hear of him! But who can understand the thunder of his power?"
