욥기 26

How you have helped the powerless!

¹Then Job answered:^{a 2}How you have helped the powerless! \q How you have saved the arm that has no strength! ³How you have advised one who lacks wisdom, \q and shown such a wealth of insight! ⁴With whose help have you uttered these words? \q Whose spirit has spoken through you? ⁵The spirits of the dead tremble, \q those beneath the waters and all who live there.^{b 6}Sheol lies naked before him; \q Abaddon has no covering. ⁷He stretches out the northern sky over empty space; \q he hangs the earth on nothing. ⁸He wraps up the waters in his clouds, \q yet the clouds do not burst under their weight. ⁹He veils the face of his throne, \q spreading his cloud over it.^{c 10}He has marked out a circle on the face of the waters \q as a boundary between light and darkness. ¹¹The pillars of heaven tremble \q and are stunned at his rebuke. ¹²By his power he stirred up the sea; \q by his skill he struck Rahab down.^{d 13}By his breath the skies became clear; \q his hand pierced the fleeing serpent. ¹⁴Look, these are only the outer edges of his ways; \q how faint the whisper we hear of him! \q But the thunder of his power, who can understand it?
