Job 25-26
Chapter 25
Bildad
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite(a) replied:
2 "Dominion and awe belong to God;(b)
he establishes order in the heights of heaven.(c)
3 Can his forces be numbered?
On whom does his light not rise?(d)
4 How then can a mortal be righteous before God?
How can one born of woman be pure?(e)
5 If even the moon(f) is not bright
and the stars are not pure in his eyes,(g)
6 how much less a mortal, who is but a maggot—
a human being,(h) who is only a worm!"(i)
Chapter 26
Job
1 Then Job replied:
2 "How you have helped the powerless!(a)
How you have saved the arm that is feeble!(b)
3 What advice you have offered to one without wisdom!
And what great insight(c) you have displayed!
4 Who has helped you utter these words?
And whose spirit spoke from your mouth?(d)
5 "The dead are in deep anguish,(e)
those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
6 The realm of the dead(f) is naked before God;
Destruction[a](g) lies uncovered.(h)
7 He spreads out the northern skies(i) over empty space;
he suspends the earth over nothing.(j)
8 He wraps up the waters(k) in his clouds,(l)
yet the clouds do not burst under their weight.
9 He covers the face of the full moon,
spreading his clouds(m) over it.
10 He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters(n)
for a boundary between light and darkness.(o)
11 The pillars of the heavens quake,(p)
aghast at his rebuke.
12 By his power he churned up the sea;(q)
by his wisdom(r) he cut Rahab(s) to pieces.
13 By his breath the skies(t) became fair;
his hand pierced the gliding serpent.(u)
14 And these are but the outer fringe of his works;
how faint the whisper(v) we hear of him!(w)
Who then can understand the thunder of his power?"(x)
