Job 26 - A strong word to proud bloggers and teachers of the truth

This is a strong caution to those, including myself that might think the really understand the "truth and try to proclaim it with passion.

Old John Gill comments.

In this chapter Job, in a very sarcastic manner, rallies Bildad on the weakness and impertinence of his reply, and sets it in a very ridiculous light; showing it to be quite foolish and stupid, and not at all to the purpose, and besides was none of his own, but what he had borrowed from another, Job 26:1; 

and if it was of any avail in the controversy to speak of the greatness and majesty of God, of his perfections and attributes, of his ways and works, he could say greater and more glorious things of God than he had done, and as he does, Job 26:5; 

beginning at the lower parts of the creation, and gradually ascending to the superior and celestial ones; and concludes with observing, that, after all, it was but little that was known of God and his ways, by himself, by Bildad, or by any mortal creature, Job 26:14.

Please take note.

Job 26:2  How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hathno strength?

Job 26:3  How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?

Job 26:7  He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

Job 26:8  He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.

Job 26:9  He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.

Job 26:10  He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.

Job 26:11  The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.

Job 26:12  He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.

Job 26:13  By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

Job 26:14  Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
