Job - ch 26 v 1 - 14
- Then Job answered,
- "How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength!
- How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
- To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came forth from you?
- "Those who are deceased tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
- Sheol1 is naked before God, and Abaddon2 has no covering.
- He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.
- He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.
- He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
- He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.
- The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
- He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
- By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
- 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?"
- Sheol is the lower world or the grave.
- Abaddon means Destroyer.
