| | 1 | Then Job answered,
| |
| | 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 him who has no wisdom, And plentifully declared sound knowledge!
| |
| | 4 | To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came forth from you?
| |
| | 5 | "Those who are deceased tremble, Those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
| |
| | 6 | Sheol is naked before God, And Abaddon has no covering.
| |
| | 7 | He stretches out the north over empty space, And hangs the earth on nothing.
| |
| | 8 | He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, And the cloud is not burst under them.
| |
| | 9 | He encloses the face of his throne, And spreads his cloud on it.
| |
| | 10 | He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, And to the confines 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 strikes through Rahab.
| |
| | 13 | By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
| |
| | 14 | Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?"
