Job 26

Job sarcastically rebukes Bildad and his friends for their unhelpful counsel, questioning how they have aided the powerless or provided wisdom[1][2][3]. He then extols God's supreme power over Sheol and Abaddon, which are naked before Him, over the heavens stretched over emptiness, the earth hung on nothing, the seas, and cosmic forces like the fleeing serpent, declaring these as mere whispers of His ways[1][2][3][4].
