Job

26:1: Then Job answered,
26:2: "How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength!
26:3: How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, And plentifully declared sound knowledge!
26:4: To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came forth from you?
26:5: "Those who are deceased tremble, Those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
26:6: Sheol{Sheol is the lower world or the grave.} is naked before God, And Abaddon{Abaddon means Destroyer.} has no covering.
26:7: He stretches out the north over empty space, And hangs the earth on nothing.
26:8: He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, And the cloud is not burst under them.
26:9: He encloses the face of his throne, And spreads his cloud on it.
26:10: He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, And to the confines of light and darkness.
26:11: The pillars of heaven tremble And are astonished at his rebuke.
26:12: He stirs up the sea with his power, And by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
26:13: By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
26:14: Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?"
