[1] Then Job answered: [2] “How you have helped the powerless and saved the arm that is feeble! [3] How you have counseled the unwise and provided fully sound insight! [4] To whom have you uttered these words? And whose spirit spoke through you? [5] The dead tremble —those beneath the waters and those who dwell in them. [6] Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering. [7] He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth upon nothing. [8] He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight. [9] He covers the face of the full moon, spreading over it His cloud. [10] He has inscribed a horizon on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness. [11] The foundations of heaven quake, astounded at His rebuke. [12] By His power He stirred the sea; by His understanding He shattered Rahab. [13] By His breath the skies were cleared; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent. [14] Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways; how faint is the whisper we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His power?”
