26:1

The Third Response: The Sarcasm of Iyob and the Majesty of the Creator

But Iyob answered and said,
26:2
How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
26:3
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
26:4
To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose ruach came from thee?

26:6
Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.
26:7

He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
26:8
He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
26:9
He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
26:10

26:12

The Smiting of Chaos

He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
26:13
By his ruach he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
