Chapter 26
5
The Shades tremble beneath the earth; the waters and their denizens are afraid.
6
Before his eyes, Sheol is bare, Perdition[*a] itself is uncovered.
7
He it was who spread the North[*b] above the void, and poised the earth on nothingness.
8
He fastens up the waters in his clouds- the mists do not tear apart under their weight.
9
He covers the face of the moon at the full, his mist he spreads over it.
10
He has traced a ring on the surface of the waters, at the boundary between light and dark.
11
The pillars of the heavens tremble, they are struck with wonder when he threatens them.
12
With his power he calmed the Sea, with his wisdom struck Rahab down.
13
His breath made the heavens luminous, his hand transfixed the Fleeing Serpent.
14
All this but skirts the ways he treads, a whispered echo is all that we hear of him. But who could comprehend the thunder of his power?
Bildad’s words are empty

Job spoke next. He said:
2
To one so weak, what a help you are, for the arm that is powerless, what a rescuer!
3
What excellent advice you give the unlearned, never at a loss for a helpful suggestion!
4
But who are they aimed at, these speeches of yours, and what spirit is this that comes out of you?
