[1] What a big help you are to me- poor, weak man that I am! [3] You give such good advice and share your knowledge with a fool like me! [4] Who do you think will hear all your words? Who inspired you to speak like this? [5] The spirits of the dead tremble in the waters under the earth. [6] The world of the dead lies open to God; no covering shields it from his sight. [7] God stretched out the northern sky and hung the earth in empty space. [8] It is God who fills the clouds with water and keeps them from bursting with the weight. [9] He hides the full moon behind a cloud. [10] He divided light from darkness by a circle drawn on the face of the sea. [11] When he threatens the pillars that hold up the sky, they shake and tremble with fear. [12] It is his strength that conquered the sea; by his skill he destroyed the monster Rahab. [13] It is his breath that made the sky clear, and his hand that killed the escaping monster. [14] But these are only hints of his power, only the whispers that we have heard. Who can know how truly great God is?
