1 But Job answered and said: |
2 "How have you helped him who is without power? How have you saved the arm that has no strength? |
3 How have you counseled one who has no wisdom? And how have you declared sound advice to many? |
4 To whom have you uttered words? And whose spirit came from you? |
5 "The dead tremble, Those under the waters and those inhabiting them. |
6 Sheol is naked before Him, And Destruction has no covering. |
7 He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth on nothing. |
8 He binds up the water in His thick clouds, Yet the clouds are not broken under it. |
9 He covers the face of His throne, And spreads His cloud over it. |
10 He drew a circular horizon on the face of the waters, At the boundary of light and darkness. |
11 The pillars of heaven tremble, And are astonished at His rebuke. |
12 He stirs up the sea with His power, And by His understanding He breaks up the storm. |
13 By His Spirit He adorned the heavens; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent. |
14 Indeed these are the mere edges of His ways, And how small a whisper we hear of Him! But the thunder of His power who can understand?" |
