Job, 26

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?

Stihovi vezani uz Job, 26:

In Job chapter 26 he responds to the speech of bility, recognizing God's greatness and wisdom and human insignificance before Him. Job tries to express the greatness and power of God, although he cannot fully understand them. Below are five verses related to the topics covered in Job 26:

Psalm 104:2-3: "He covers the light as a cloak, stretches the heavens as a tent and puts in the water of the heavens the watchman of his high buildings; he makes clouds his carriage and walks over the wings of the wind . " This psalm describes the greatness and power of God, including its creation of heaven and clouds.

Isaiah 40:12: "Who measured the waters in the shell of the hand and, with the hand of hand, measured the sky? Who gathered in a third of the dust of the earth? Who weighed the hills on the scale and the colinnins in the precision scale ? " This verse highlights the greatness and power of God, which created all things.

Psalm 147:5: "Our Lord is great and immensely powerful; His wisdom has no limits." This psalm praises the greatness and power of God, just as Job does in his speech.

Proverbs 9:10: "The fear of the Lord is the principle of wisdom, and the knowledge of the saint is understanding." This verse emphasizes the wisdom and knowledge of God, which Job recognizes in his speech.

Psalm 139:6: "The knowledge you have of me is wonderful, it's too sublime for me, I can't understand it!" This psalm emphasizes God's incomprehensibility, something that Job also recognizes in his speech.





“A pessoa que nunca medita é como alguém que nunca se olha no espelho e, assim, não se cuida e sai desarrumada. A pessoa que medita e dirige seus pensamentos a Deus, que é o espelho de sua alma, procura conhecer seus defeitos, tenta corrigi-los, modera seus impulsos e põe em ordem sua consciência.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
