[1] But Job answered: [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 him who has no wisdom? And how have you plentifully declared sound knowledge? [4] To whom have you uttered words? And whose breath came from you? [5] "The departed spirits tremble under the waters, and their inhabitants. [6] The underworld is naked before Him, and destruction has no covering. [7] He stretches out the north over empty space, He hangs the earth upon nothing. [8] He binds up the waters in His thick clouds, and the cloud is not broken under them. [9] He covers the face of the full moon and spreads His cloud over it. [10] He has circled the waters with boundaries, until the day and night come to an end. [11] The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at His reproof. [12] He divides the sea with His power, and by His understanding He strikes through the proud. [13] By His breath He has made fair the heavens; His hand has formed the fleeing serpent. [14] Indeed, these are but a part of His ways, and how small a whisper we hear of Him! But the thunder of His power who can understand?"
