12. By his power he stilled the sea; by his wisdom he smote Rahab.
12. By his power he stilled the sea; by his wisdom he smote Rahab.
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.
“O grau sublime da humildade é não só reconhecer a abnegação, mas amá-la.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
