Job Replies: God’s Majesty Is Unsearchable
26 Then Job answered:
2 “How you have helped one who has no power!
How you have assisted the arm that has no strength!(A)
3 How you have counseled one who has no wisdom
and given much good advice!
4 With whose help have you uttered words,
and whose spirit has come forth from you?
5 The shades below tremble,
the waters and their inhabitants.
6 Sheol is naked before God,
and Abaddon has no covering.(B)
7 He stretches out Zaphon[a] over the void
and hangs the earth upon nothing.(C)
8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds,
and the cloud is not torn open by them.(D)
9 He covers the face of the full moon
and spreads over it his cloud.(E)
10 He has described a circle on the face of the waters,
at the boundary between light and darkness.(F)
11 The pillars of heaven tremble
and are astounded at his rebuke.
12 By his power he stilled the Sea;
by his understanding he struck down Rahab.(G)
13 By his wind the heavens were made fair;
his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.(H)
14 These are indeed but the outskirts of his ways,
and how small a whisper do we hear of him!
But the thunder of his power who can understand?”(I)

Hebrews 12:18-29
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
18 You have not come to something[a] that can be touched, a blazing fire, and darkness, and gloom, and a tempest,(A) 19 and the sound of a trumpet, and a voice whose words made the hearers beg that not another word be spoken to them.(B) 20 (For they could not endure the order that was given, “If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned to death.”(C) 21 Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I tremble with fear.”)(D) 22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering,(E) 23 and to the assembly[b] of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect,(F) 24 and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.(G)
25 See that you do not refuse the one who is speaking, for if they did not escape when they refused the one who warned them on earth, how much less will we escape if we reject the one who warns from heaven!(H) 26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heaven.”(I) 27 This phrase, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of what is shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain.(J) 28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable worship with reverence and awe, 29 for indeed our God is a consuming fire.(K)
