New Century Version

Job 26

Job Answers Bildad

1 Then Job answered:

2 "You are no help to the helpless!
    You have not aided the weak!
3 Your advice lacks wisdom!
    You have shown little understanding!
4 Who has helped you say these words?
    And where did you get these ideas?

5 "The spirits of the dead tremble,
    those who are beneath and in the waters.
6 Death is naked before God;
    destruction is uncovered before him.
7 God stretches the northern sky out over empty space
    and hangs the earth on nothing.
8 He wraps up the waters in his thick clouds,
    but the clouds do not break under their weight.
9 He covers the face of the moon,
    spreading his clouds over it.
10 He draws the horizon like a circle on the water
    at the place where light and darkness meet.
11 Heaven's foundations shake
    when he thunders at them.
12 With his power he quiets the sea;
    by his wisdom he destroys Rahab, the sea monster.
13 He breathes, and the sky clears.
    His hand stabs the fleeing snake.
14 And these are only a small part of God's works.
    We only hear a small whisper of him.
    Who could understand God's thundering power?"
