Ayub (Job) — 26

Ayub’s Ninth Speech: A Response to Bildad

1 Then Ayub spoke again:

2 “How you have helped the powerless! How you have saved the weak!

3 How you have enlightened my stupidity! What wise advice you have offered!

4 Where have you gotten all these wise sayings? Whose spirit speaks through you?

5 “The dead tremble, those who live beneath the waters.

6 The underworld is naked in the presence of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH. The place of destruction is uncovered.

7 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH stretches the northern sky over empty space and hangs the Arath on nothing.

8 He wraps the rain in His thick clouds, and the clouds do not burst with the weight.

9 He covers the face of the moon,    shrouding it with his clouds.

10 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH created the horizon when He separated the waters; and He set the boundary between day and night.

11 The foundations of Shamaym tremble;    they shudder at his rebuke.

12 By the power of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH the sea grew calm. By His skill He crushed the great sea monster.

13 For the Ruach of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH made the Shamaym beautiful, and His power pierced the gliding serpent.

14 These are just the beginning of all that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH does, merely a whisper of His power. Who, then can comprehend the thunder of the power of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH?”
