Job 26章 ESV | 微讀聖經

Job Replies: God’s Majesty Is Unsearchable

1Then Job answered and said:

2“How you have 26:2 Isa. 40:29helped him who has no power!

How you have saved 26:2 Gen. 49:24; Hos. 7:15the arm that has no strength!

3How you have 26:3 Ps. 73:24; James 1:5counseled him who has no wisdom,

and plentifully declared sound knowledge!

4With whose help have you uttered words,

and whose breath 26:4 Gen. 2:7has come out from you?

5The 26:5 Ps. 88:10dead tremble

under the waters and their inhabitants.

6Sheol is 26:6 Ps. 139:8; Prov. 15:11naked before God,26:6 Hebrew him

and 26:6 Rev. 9:11Abaddon has no covering.

7He 26:7 See ch. 9:8stretches out the north over 26:7 [Gen. 1:2]the void

and hangs the earth on nothing.

8He 26:8 Prov. 30:4binds up the waters in his thick clouds,

and the cloud is not split open under them.

9He covers the face of the full moon26:9 Or his throne

and 26:9 [ch. 36:29]spreads over it his cloud.

10He has inscribed 26:10 Prov. 8:29; [ch. 38:8-11; Ps. 33:7; Jer. 5:22]a circle on the face of the waters

at the boundary between light and darkness.

1126:11 ch. 9:6; Ps. 75:3The pillars of heaven tremble

and are astounded at his 26:11 Ps. 104:7rebuke.

12By his power he 26:12 Isa. 51:15; Jer. 31:35stilled the sea;

by his understanding he shattered 26:12 See ch. 9:13Rahab.

1326:13 [Ps. 33:6] By his wind the heavens were made fair;

his hand pierced 26:13 Isa. 27:1the fleeing serpent.

14Behold, these are but the outskirts of his 26:14 ch. 40:19ways,

and how small 26:14 ch. 4:12a whisper do we hear of him!

But the thunder of his power who can understand?”
