Job 26
Westminster Leningrad Codex tier 1
1 וַיַּ֥עַן אִיּ֗וֹב וַיֹּאמַֽר׃
2 מֶה־עָזַ֥רְתָּ לְלֹא־כֹ֑חַ ה֝וֹשַׁ֗עְתָּ זְר֣וֹעַ לֹא־עֹֽז׃
3 מַה־יָּ֭עַצְתָּ לְלֹ֣א חָכְמָ֑ה וְ֝תוּשִׁיָּ֗ה לָרֹ֥ב הוֹדָֽעְתָּ׃
4 אֶת־מִ֭י הִגַּ֣דְתָּ מִלִּ֑ין וְנִשְׁמַת־מִ֝י יָצְאָ֥ה מִמֶּֽךָּ׃
5 הָרְפָאִ֥ים יְחוֹלָ֑לוּ מִתַּ֥חַת מַ֝֗יִם וְשֹׁכְנֵיהֶֽם׃
6 עָר֣וֹם שְׁא֣וֹל נֶגְדּ֑וֹ וְאֵ֥ין כְּ֝ס֗וּת לָֽאֲבַדּֽוֹן׃
7 נֹטֶ֣ה צָפ֣וֹן עַל־תֹּ֑הוּ תֹּ֥לֶה אֶ֝֗רֶץ עַל־בְּלִי־מָֽה׃
8 צֹרֵֽר־מַ֥יִם בְּעָבָ֑יו וְלֹא־נִבְקַ֖ע עָנָ֣ן תַּחְתָּֽם׃
9 מְאַחֵ֥ז פְּנֵי־כִסֵּ֑ה פַּרְשֵׁ֖ז עָלָ֣יו עֲנָנֽוֹ׃
10 חֹֽק־חָ֭ג עַל־פְּנֵי־מָ֑יִם עַד־תַּכְלִ֖ית א֣וֹר עִם־חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃
11 עַמּוּדֵ֣י שָׁמַ֣יִם יְרוֹפָ֑פוּ וְ֝יִתְמְה֗וּ מִגַּעֲרָתֽוֹ׃
12 בְּ֭כֹחוֹ רָגַ֣ע הַיָּ֑ם ובתובנתו מָ֣חַץ רָֽהַב׃
13 בְּ֭רוּחוֹ שָׁמַ֣יִם שִׁפְרָ֑ה חֹֽלֲלָ֥ה יָ֝ד֗וֹ נָחָ֥שׁ בָּרִֽיחַ׃
14 הֶן־אֵ֤לֶּה ׀ קְצ֬וֹת דרכו וּמַה־שֵּׁ֣מֶץ דָּ֭בָר נִשְׁמַע־בּ֑וֹ וְרַ֥עַם גבורתו מִ֣י יִתְבּוֹנָֽן׃ ס
Berean Standard Bible tier 2
1 Then Job answered:
2 “How you have helped the powerless and saved the arm that is feeble!
3 How you have counseled the unwise and provided fully sound insight!
4 To whom have you uttered these words? And whose spirit spoke through you?
5 The dead tremble—those beneath the waters and those who dwell in them.
6 Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.
7 He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth upon nothing.
8 He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight.
9 He covers the face of the full moon, spreading over it His cloud.
10 He has inscribed a horizon on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.
11 The foundations of heaven quake, astounded at His rebuke.
12 By His power He stirred the sea; by His understanding He shattered Rahab.
13 By His breath the skies were cleared; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
14 Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways; how faint is the whisper we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His power?”
King James Version tier 2
1 But Job answered and said,
2 How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4 To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
6 Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.
7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
9 He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
12 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
14 Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?

1 Then Job answered,
2 “How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength!
3 How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
4 To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came out of you?
5 “The departed spirits tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
6 Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.
7 He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.
8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.
9 He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
10 He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
12 He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
13 By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
14 Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?”
