Day Five is found in Job 26:1 to Job 29:25.
Job's response this time sounds a bit more decisive. He makes it pretty plain that he will never concede to the insults of these friends or deny his integrity in any way. He actually has a lot to say in this section. I don't think I could do it all justice. He does remind them that the fear of God is the path to understanding, and continues, reminding his friends of the respect he had held before.

"God stretches the northern sky over empty space and hangs the earth on nothing. He wraps the rain in his thick clouds, and the clouds do not burst with the weight. He shrouds his throne with his clouds. He created the horizon when he separated the waters; he set the boundaries for day and night. The foundations of heaven tremble at his rebuke. By his power the sea grew calm. By his skill he crushed the great sea monster. His Spirit made the heavens beautiful, and his power pierced the gliding serpent. These are some of the minor things he does, merely a whisper of his power. Who can understand the thunder of his power?"
WOW! Just read it and imagine the mighty power of God! And these are "some of the minor things He does". A word that I seldom use comes to mind, I don't use it often, as many do, because there are not things that are "AWESOME" like this.
