Capítulo 26

1 - Then Job replied:

2 - "How you have helped the powerless! How you have saved the arm that is feeble!

3 - What advice you have offered to one without wisdom! And what great insight you have displayed!

4 - Who has helped you utter these words? And whose spirit spoke from your mouth?

5 - "The dead are in deep anguish, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.

6 - The realm of the dead is naked before God; Destruction Hebrew [Abaddon] lies uncovered.

7 - He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing.

8 - He wraps up the waters in his clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their weight.

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 darkness.

11 - The pillars of the heavens quake, aghast at his rebuke.

12 - By his power he churned up the sea; by his wisdom he cut Rahab to pieces.

13 - By his breath the skies became fair; his hand pierced the gliding serpent.

14 - And these are but the outer fringe of his works; how faint the whisper we hear of him! Who then can understand the thunder of his power?"
