OET-RV JOB Chapter 26

26 Then Iyyov responded to Bildad:

2 How have you helped those without power?

≈How have you saved those who are weak?

3 How well you have advised those without wisdom,

≈and displayed many good things.

4 Who did you tell all that to,

and whose spirit spoke through you?

5 The dead will be made to tremble

from beneath the water and their inhabitants. ???

6 The grave is wide open before him,

≈and ABADDON has no covering.

7 He stretches out the north over empty space.

≈He hangs the earth upon nothing at all.

8 He attaches the water into his clouds,

but the cloud isn’t torn apart by it.

9 He covers the surface of the THRONE/MOON.

He spreads his cloud above it.

10 He’s drawn a circle to mark the limit of the waters,

and to mark the boundary between light and darkness.

11 The pillars of heaven shake,

and they’re astounded when he scolds them.

12 He stirs up the sea with his power,

and using his know-how he smashed RAHAB.

13 By his breath he makes the skies clear.

His hand pierced the fleeing snake.

14 Listen, those are the ends of his ways,

and how we hear just a whisper of a word.

And who can interpret the thunder of his power?
