[1] Then Job answered and said,
[2] How hast thou helped him that is without power! How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!
[3] How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, And plentifully declared sound knowledge!
[4] To whom hast thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?
[5] They that are deceased tremble Beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.
[6] Sheol is naked beforeGod, And Abaddon hath no covering.
[7] He stretcheth out the north over empty space, And 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 incloseth the face of his throne, And spreadeth his cloud upon it.
[10] He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, Unto the confines of light and darkness.
[11] The pillars of heaven tremble And are astonished at his rebuke.
[12] He stirreth up the sea with his power, And by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.
[13] By his Spirit the heavens are garnished; His hand hath pierced the swift serpent.
[14] Lo, these are but the outskirts of his ways: And how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?
