¹ Then Job spoke again:

² “How you have helped the powerless! How you have saved the weak!

³ How you have enlightened my stupidity! What wise advice you have offered!

⁴ Where have you gotten all these wise sayings? Whose spirit speaks through you?

⁵ “The dead tremble— those who live beneath the waters.

⁶ The underworld[39] is naked in God’s presence. The place of destruction[40] is uncovered.

⁷ God stretches the northern sky over empty space and hangs the earth on nothing.

⁸ He wraps the rain in his thick clouds, and the clouds don’t burst with the weight.

⁹ He covers the face of the moon,[41] shrouding it with his clouds.

¹⁰ He created the horizon when he separated the waters; he set the boundary between day and night.

¹¹ The foundations of heaven tremble; they shudder at his rebuke.

¹² By his power the sea grew calm. By his skill he crushed the great sea monster.[42]

¹³ His Spirit made the heavens beautiful, and his power pierced the gliding serpent.

¹⁴ These are just the beginning of all that he does, merely a whisper of his power. Who, then, can comprehend the thunder of his power?”
