| | 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?" | |
