Job 26 - Tree of Life Version

Job: God is Awesome

¹ Then Job responded and said:

² “How you have helped the powerless! How you have saved the arm without strength!

³ How you have counseled the one without wisdom and revealed your abundant insights!

⁴ To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit has come from your mouth?

⁵ “The dead tremble— those beneath the water and all that live in them.

⁶ Sheol is naked before Him; Abaddon has no covering.

⁷ He stretches out the north over the void; He suspends the earth over nothing.

⁸ He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under them.

⁹ He covers the face of the full moon, spreading His clouds over it.

¹⁰ He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters, for a boundary between light and dark.

¹¹ The pillars of heaven tremble, astounded at His rebuke!

¹² By His power He churns up the sea; by His understanding He smashed Rahab.

¹³ By His Ruach the heavens are clear; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.

¹⁴ Indeed, these are but glimpses of His ways; how faint the whisper, we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His might?”
