[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?”
