Job 26
Legacy Standard Bible
Who Can Understand God?
26 Then Job answered and said,
2 “What a help you are to (A)the one without power!
How you have saved the arm (B)without strength!
3 What counsel you have given to one without wisdom!
What sound wisdom you have abundantly made known!
4 To whom have you declared words?
And whose breath comes out from you?
5 “The [a](C)departed spirits tremble
Under the waters and their inhabitants.
6 Naked is (D)Sheol before Him,
And [b](E)Abaddon has no covering.
7 He (F)stretches out the north over what is formless
And hangs the earth on nothing.
8 He (G)wraps up the waters in His clouds,
And the cloud does not break out under them.
9 He [c](H)obscures the face of His [d]throne
And spreads His cloud over it.
10 He has marked a (I)circle on the surface of the waters
At the (J)boundary of light and darkness.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble
And are astonished at His rebuke.
12 He (K)quieted the sea with His power,
And by His (L)understanding He crushed (M)Rahab.
13 By His breath the (N)heavens are made beautiful;
His hand has pierced (O)the fleeing serpent.
14 Behold, these are the fringes of His ways;
And how only with a whisper of (P)a word do we hear of Him!
But His mighty (Q)thunder, who can understand?”
Job 26
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Sumagot si Job
26 Sumagot si Job, 2 “Ang akala mo baʼy natulungan mo ang walang kakayahan at nailigtas ang mahihina? 3 Ang akala mo baʼy napayuhan mo ang kapos sa karunungan sa pamamagitan ng iyong karunungan? 4 Saan ba nanggaling ang mga sinasabi mong iyan? Sinong espiritu ang nagturo sa iyo na sabihin iyan?
5 “Nanginginig sa takot ang mga patay sa kinalalagyan nila sa ilalim ng tubig. 6 Lantad sa paningin ng Dios ang lugar ng mga patay. Hindi maitatago ang lugar na iyon ng kapahamakan. 7 Inilatag ng Dios ang hilagang kalangitan sa kalawakan at isinabit ang mundo sa kawalan. 8 Ibinabalot niya ang ulan sa makakapal na ulap, pero hindi ito napupunit gaano man kabigat. 9 Tinatakpan niya ng makapal na ulap ang bilog na buwan.[a] 10 Nilagyan niya ng hangganan ang langit at dagat na parang hangganan din ng liwanag at dilim. 11 Sa pagsaway niya ay nayayanig ang mga haligi ng langit. 12 Sa kanyang kapangyarihan ay pinaaalon niya ang dagat; sa kanyang karunungan ay tinalo niya ang dragon na si Rahab. 13 Sa pamamagitan ng pag-ihip niya ay umaaliwalas ang langit, at sa kanyang kapangyarihan pinatay niya ang gumagapang na dragon. 14 Mga simpleng bagay lang ito para sa kanya. Parang isang bulong lang na ating napakinggan. Sino ngayon ang makakaunawa sa kapangyarihan ng Dios?”

Job 26
New International Version
Job
26 Then Job replied:
2 “How you have helped the powerless!(A)
How you have saved the arm that is feeble!(B)
3 What advice you have offered to one without wisdom!
And what great insight(C) you have displayed!
4 Who has helped you utter these words?
And whose spirit spoke from your mouth?(D)
5 “The dead are in deep anguish,(E)
those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
6 The realm of the dead(F) is naked before God;
Destruction[a](G) lies uncovered.(H)
7 He spreads out the northern skies(I) over empty space;
he suspends the earth over nothing.(J)
8 He wraps up the waters(K) in his clouds,(L)
yet the clouds do not burst under their weight.
9 He covers the face of the full moon,
spreading his clouds(M) over it.
10 He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters(N)
for a boundary between light and darkness.(O)
11 The pillars of the heavens quake,(P)
aghast at his rebuke.
12 By his power he churned up the sea;(Q)
by his wisdom(R) he cut Rahab(S) to pieces.
13 By his breath the skies(T) became fair;
his hand pierced the gliding serpent.(U)
14 And these are but the outer fringe of his works;
how faint the whisper(V) we hear of him!(W)
Who then can understand the thunder of his power?”(X)
