Job 26 (WEB)

1
Then Job answered,
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 him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
4
To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came out of you?
5
“The departed spirits tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
6
Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.
7
He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.
8
He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.
9
He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
10
He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.
11
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
12
He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
13
By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
14
Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?”

Job 26 (RV1909)

1
Y RESPONDIÓ Job, y dijo:
2
¿En qué ayudaste al que no tiene fuerza? ¿has amparado al brazo sin fortaleza?
3
¿En qué aconsejaste al que no tiene ciencia, y mostraste bien sabiduría?
4
¿A quién has anunciado palabras, y cúyo es el espíritu que de ti sale?
5
Cosas inanimadas son formadas debajo de las aguas, y los habitantes de ellas.
6
El sepulcro es descubierto delante de él, y el infierno no tiene cobertura.
7
Extiende el aquilón sobre vacío, cuelga la tierra sobre nada.
8
Ata las aguas en sus nubes, y las nubes no se rompen debajo de ellas.
9
El restriñe la faz de su trono, y sobre él extiende su nube.
10
El cercó con término la superficie de las aguas, hasta el fin de la luz y las tinieblas.
11
Las columnas del cielo tiemblan, y se espantan de su reprensión.
12
El rompe la mar con su poder, y con su entendimiento hiere la hinchazón suya .
13
Su espíritu adornó los cielos; su mano crió la serpiente tortuosa.
14
He aquí, estas son partes de sus caminos: ¡mas cuán poco hemos oído de él! Porque el estruendo de sus fortalezas, ¿quién lo detendrá?
