[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?"
