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 [1†]Sheol is naked before Him, And Destruction has no covering.

⁷ [2†]He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth on nothing.

⁸ [3†]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 [4†]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 [5†]He stirs up the sea with His power, And by His understanding He breaks up the storm.

¹³ [6†]By His Spirit He adorned the heavens; His hand pierced [7†]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?”
