OT: The Book of Job, Chapter 26

Job 26:1-14

26:1-4 Job did not want an answer from the false men around him. Job only respected the word and will of God. He compared human ineptitude to God's majesty. He was not impressed by humans, their speech or action, he felt that compared to God, it added up to nothing. 

26:5-14 Yet God established the earth and universe! Job spoke of God's precise and marvelous creation. He spoke of how God made the impossible, possible: He created the horizon and atmosphere, the seas and their movements and storms; He created the clouds and their rains that defy gravity; He created, from nothing, everything. It was with God alone that Job wanted to have a conversation.
