Job 25:1-26:14 SPEAKS 25 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied: 2 Dominion and dread belong to him, the one who establishes harmony in his heights. 3 Can his troops be numbered? Does his light not shine on everyone? 4 How can a human be justifed before God? How can one born of woman be pure? 5 If even the moon does not shine and the stars are not pure in his sight, 6 how much less a human, who is a maggot, a son of man, who is a worm! JOB’S REPLY TO BILDAD 26 Then Job answered: 2 How you have helped the powerless and delivered the arm that is weak! 3 How you have counseled the unwise and abundantly provided insight!

4 With whom did you speak these words? Whose breath came out of your mouth? 5 The departed spirits tremble beneath the waters and all that inhabit them. 6 Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering. 7 He stretches the northern skies over empty space; he hangs the earth on nothing. 8 He wraps up the water in his clouds, yet the clouds do not burst beneath its weight. 9 He obscures the view of his throne, spreading his cloud over it. 10 He laid out the horizon on the surface of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness. 11 The pillars that hold up the sky tremble, astounded at his rebuke. 12 By his power he stirred the sea, and by his understanding he crushed Rahab. 13 By his breath the heavens gained their beauty; his hand pierced the feeing serpent. 14 These are but the fringes of his ways; how faint is the word we hear of him! Who can understand his mighty thunder?
