- And Job answereth and saith: —
- 2
- What — thou hast helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
- 3
- What — thou hast given counsel to the unwise, And wise plans in abundance made known.
- 4
- With whom hast thou declared words? And whose breath came forth from thee?
- 5
- The Rephaim are formed, Beneath the waters, also their inhabitants.
- 6
- Naked [is] Sheol over-against Him, And there is no covering to destruction.
- 7
- Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth upon nothing,
- 8
- Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not rent under them.
- 9
- Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading over it His cloud.
- 10
- A limit He hath placed on the waters, Unto the boundary of light with darkness.
- 11
- Pillars of the heavens do tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
- 12
- By His power He hath quieted the sea, And by His understanding smitten the proud.
- 13
- By His Spirit the heavens He beautified, Formed hath His hand the fleeing serpent.
- 14
- Lo, these [are] the borders of His way, And how little a matter is heard of Him, And the thunder of His might Who doth understand?
