[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?”
