**CHAPTER 26Job’s Reply**
*1. A sarcastic beginning ([Job 26:1-4](../../../kjv/job/26/1-4)* *)*
*2. Job also knows and can speak of the greatness of God ([Job 26:5-14](../../../kjv/job/26/5-14)* *)*
[Job 26:1-4](../../../kjv/job/26/1-4) . You have helped me greatly, Bildad, me, who am without power. Whom dost thou instruct anyway? And what kind of a spirit is it which speaks through thee? In other words he means to say, I have no more use for your argument at all.
[Job 26:5-14](../../../kjv/job/26/5-14) . But let me, Bildad, tell you something about the greatness of God before which your words pale into nothing. And so he utters a description of God’s greatness which is indeed greater than Bildad’s. And after this sublime unfolding of God’s greatness and power, he truthfully says:
*Lo, these are but the outlines of His ways*
*A whisper only do we hear of Him*
*But who can comprehend the thunder of His power?*
