Job 26
Reading Job chapter 26 in the World English Bible, public-domain text from 2000.
Verses 1–10
1 Then Job answered,
2 “How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength!
3 How have you counselled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
4 To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came out of you?
5 “The departed spirits tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
6 Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.
7 He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.
8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.
9 He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
10 He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.
