Job 26
Living Bible
26 Job’s reply:
2 “What wonderful helpers you all are! And how you have encouraged me in my great need! 3 How you have enlightened my stupidity! What wise things you have said! 4 How did you ever think of all these brilliant comments?
5-6 “The dead stand naked, trembling before God in the place where they go. 7 God stretches out heaven over empty space and hangs the earth upon nothing. 8 He wraps the rain in his thick clouds, and the clouds are not split by the weight. 9 He shrouds his throne with his clouds. 10 He sets a boundary for the ocean, yes, and a boundary for the day and for the night. 11 The pillars of heaven tremble at his rebuke. 12 And by his power the sea grows calm; he is skilled at crushing its pride! 13 The heavens are made beautiful by his Spirit;[a] he pierces the swiftly gliding serpent.
14 “These are some of the minor things he does, merely a whisper of his power. Who then can withstand his thunder?”

Job 26
New King James Version
Job: Man’s Frailty and God’s Majesty
26 But Job answered and said:
2 “How have you helped him who is without power?
How have you saved the arm that has no strength?
3 How have you counseled one who has no wisdom?
And how have you declared sound advice to many?
4 To whom have you uttered words?
And whose spirit came from you?
5 “The dead tremble,
Those under the waters and those inhabiting them.
6 (A)Sheol is naked before Him,
And Destruction has no covering.
7 (B)He stretches out the north over empty space;
He hangs the earth on nothing.
8 (C)He binds up the water in His thick clouds,
Yet the clouds [a]are not broken under it.
9 He covers the face of His throne,
And spreads His cloud over it.
10 (D)He drew a circular horizon on the face of the waters,
At the boundary of light and darkness.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble,
And are [b]astonished at His rebuke.
12 (E)He stirs up the sea with His power,
And by His understanding He breaks up [c]the storm.
13 (F)By His Spirit He adorned the heavens;
His hand pierced (G)the fleeing serpent.
14 Indeed these are the mere edges of His ways,
And how small a whisper we hear of Him!
But the thunder of His power who can understand?”
Jó 26
Nova Versão Transformadora
O nono discurso de Jó: resposta a Bildade
26 Então Jó falou novamente:
2 “Grande ajuda você deu aos indefesos!
Belo socorro prestou aos fracos!
3 Como esclareceu minha ignorância!
Sábio conselho ofereceu!
4 De onde tirou todas essas palavras de sabedoria?
De quem é o espírito que fala por seu intermédio?
5 “Tremem os mortos,
aqueles que vivem debaixo das águas.
6 O lugar dos mortos[a] está nu diante de Deus;
o lugar de destruição[b] está descoberto.
7 Deus estende o céu do norte sobre o vazio
e suspende a terra sobre o nada.
8 Envolve a chuva com densas nuvens,
e elas não se rompem com o peso da água.
9 Encobre a face da lua[c]
e a esconde com suas nuvens.
10 Criou o horizonte ao separar as águas
e definiu o limite entre dia e noite.
11 Tremem os alicerces do céu,
estremecem diante de sua repreensão.
12 Com seu poder, acalmou o mar;
com sua habilidade, despedaçou o monstro marinho.[d]
13 Com seu sopro,[e] trouxe beleza aos céus;
com sua mão, feriu a serpente veloz.
14 Isso é apenas o começo de tudo que ele faz,
um mero sussurro de sua força;
quem pode compreender o trovão de seu poder?”.
