Job 25-26
Chapter 25
Bildad Says Mankind Is Inferior
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite responded,
2 "(C1)Dominion and awe (F1)belong to Him
Who makes peace in (C2)His heights.
3 "Is there any number to (C1)His troops?
And upon whom does His light not rise?
4 "How then can mankind be (C1)righteous with God?
Or how can anyone who is born of woman be (C2)pure?
5 "If even (C1)the moon has no brightness
And the (C2)stars are not pure in His sight,
6 How much less (C1)man, that (C2)maggot,
And a son of man, that worm!"
Chapter 26
Job Rebukes Bildad
1 Then Job responded,
2 "What a help you are to (F1)(C1)the weak!
You have saved the arm (C2)without strength!
3 "What advice you have given to one without wisdom!
What helpful insight you have abundantly (F1)provided!
4 "To whom have you uttered words?
And whose (F1)spirit was expressed through you?
The Greatness of God
5 "The (F1)(C1)departed spirits are made to tremble
Under the waters and their inhabitants.
6 "(F1)(C1)Sheol is naked before Him,
And (F2)(C2)Abaddon has no covering.
7 "He (C1)stretches out the north over empty space
And hangs the earth on nothing.
8 "He (C1)wraps up the waters in His clouds,
And the cloud does not burst under them.
9 "He (F1)(C1)obscures the face of the (F2)full moon
And spreads His cloud over it.
10 "He has inscribed a (C1)circle on the surface of the waters
At the (C2)boundary of light and darkness.
11 "The pillars of heaven tremble
And are amazed at His rebuke.
12 "With His power He (C1)quieted the sea,
And by His (C2)understanding He shattered (F1)(C3)Rahab.
13 "By His breath the (C1)heavens are (F1)cleared;
His hand has pierced (C2)the fleeing serpent.
14 "Behold, these are the fringes of His ways;
And how faint (C1)a word we hear of Him!
But His mighty (C2)thunder, who can understand?"
