Job 26:1-7. Job answers God in thanks, saying God has helped him who has no power and counseled him who has no wisdom, giving him plentious knowledge. God has need of no help to do these things, it all comes from him as the source. "Sheol is naked before God," who "hangs the earth upon nothing."

 

Job is getting at the heart of who God is here - God IS, that is all. God is what it is to "be," which is why he defines himself as "I am." All of creation comes from God, nothing happens without his permission, and nothing can hide from God.

 

So if you seek wisdom and knowledge, go to the source of wisdom and knowledge - God. And if you seek to hide from him in your sinfulness, know that he sees all, you are naked before him. That, though, is a very good thing. Often, the only way to make us want to repent of our sinfulness is a full revelation of our sins in the light.
