- And Job answered and said,
- 2
- How hast thou helped the powerless;
how saved the arm that is without strength!
- 3
- How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and abundantly declared the thing as it is!
- 4
- For whom hast thou uttered words?
and whose spirit came from thee?
- 5
- The shades tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof;
- 6
- Sheol is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.
- 7
- He stretcheth out the north over empty space, he hangeth the earth upon nothing;
- 8
- He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not rent under them.
- 9
- He covereth the face of his throne, he spreadeth his cloud upon it.
- 10
- He hath traced a fixed circle over the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.
- 11
- The pillars of the heavens tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
- 12
- He stirreth up the sea by his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.
- 13
- By his Spirit the heavens are adorned;
his hand hath formed the fleeing serpent.
- 14
- Lo, these are the borders of his ways;
but what a whisper of a word do we hear of him! And the thunder of his power, who can understand?
