Job: Who Can Understand God’s Majesty?
Then Job answered:
“How you have helped the powerless Isa 35:3-4Job 4:3-41Ki 18:27Isa 41:5-7Job 12:2Job 16:4-5Job 6:12Job 6:25
and saved the arm that is feeble!
How you have counseled the unwise Act 20:20Act 20:27Job 12:3Job 13:5Job 15:8-10Job 17:10Job 32:11-13Job 33:3
and provided fully sound insight!
To whom have you uttered these words? 1Ki 22:23-241Co 12:31Jn 4:1-3Ecc 12:7Job 20:3Job 32:18Rev 16:13-14
And whose spirit spoke through you?
The dead tremble— Gen 6:4Psa 88:10Job 41:1-34Ezk 29:3-5Psa 104:25-26
those beneath the waters and those who dwell in them.
Sheol is naked before God, Pro 15:11Psa 139:8Heb 4:13Amo 9:2Job 28:22Isa 14:9Job 11:8Job 41:11
and Abaddon 1has no covering.
He stretches out the north over empty space; Job 9:8Isa 40:22Psa 104:2-5Isa 42:5Pro 8:23-27Psa 24:2Gen 1:1-2Isa 40:26
He hangs the earth upon nothing.
He wraps up the waters in His clouds, Job 37:11-16Pro 30:4Jer 10:13Isa 5:6Job 38:37Job 38:9Psa 135:7Psa 18:10-11
yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight.
He covers the face of the full moon, 2 Psa 97:2Job 22:141Ki 8:12Exo 20:21Exo 33:20-23Exo 34:3Hab 3:3-51Ti 6:16
spreading over it His cloud.
He has inscribed a horizon on the face of the waters Pro 8:29Job 38:8-11Jer 5:22Psa 33:7Gen 8:22Isa 54:9-10Psa 104:6-9
at the boundary between light and darkness.
The foundations of heaven quake, 1Sa 2:8Hag 2:21Job 15:15Psa 18:7Heb 12:26-272Pe 3:10Rev 20:11
astounded at His rebuke.
By His power He stirred 3the sea; Isa 51:15Jer 31:35Isa 51:9Job 12:13Job 9:13Psa 89:9-10Psa 74:13Psa 93:3-4
by His understanding He shattered Rahab.
By His breath the skies were cleared; Isa 27:1Psa 104:30Psa 74:13-14Gen 1:2Psa 33:6-7Rev 12:9
His hand pierced the fleeing serpent. 4
Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways; Isa 40:26-29Job 11:7-9Psa 139:6Psa 145:3Rom 11:331Co 13:9-121Sa 2:10Job 36:29
how faint is the whisper we hear of Him!
Who then can understand
the thunder of His power?”
