[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?"
