¹Then Job answered and said,

²“How you have helped one who has no power! How you have saved the arm that has no strength!

³How you have advised one who has no wisdom and announced to him sound knowledge!

⁴With whose help have you spoken these words? Whose spirit was it that came out from you?

⁵The dead are made to tremble, those who are beneath the waters and all who dwell in them.

⁶Sheol is naked before God; destruction itself has no covering against him.

⁷He stretches out the northern skies over the empty space, and he hangs the earth over nothing.

⁸He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, but the clouds are not torn under them.

⁹He covers the surface of the moon and spreads his clouds on it.

¹⁰He has engraved a circular boundary on the surface of the waters as the line between light and darkness.

¹¹The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.

¹²He calmed the sea with his power; by his understanding he shattered Rahab.

¹³By his breath he made the skies clear; his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.

¹⁴See, these are but the fringes of his ways; how small a whisper do we hear of him! Who can understand the thunder of his power?”
