[1] Then Job said: [2] How well you have helped the weak, saved those with frail arms, [3] advised one lacking wisdom, informed many with insight! [4] With whom have you spoken; whose breath was expelled from you? [5] The dead writhe, the inhabitants beneath the waters as well. [6] The grave is naked before God; the underworld lacks covering. [7] He stretched the North over chaos, hung earth over nothing; [8] wrapped up water in his clouds, yet they didn’t burst out below; [9] hid the face of the full moon, spreading his cloud over it; [10] traced a circle on the water’s surface, at the limit of light and darkness. [11] Heaven’s pillars shook, terrified by his blast. [12] By his power he stilled the Sea; split Rahab with his cleverness. [13] Due to his wind, heaven became clear; his hand split the fleeing serpent. [14] Look, these are only the outer fringe of his ways; we hear only a whispered word about him. Who can understand his thunderous power?
