Then Job answered and said,

How you have helped him who is without power! How you have saved the arm of him who is without strength!

How you have counseled him who is without wisdom And have plentifully declared sound knowledge!

To whom have you uttered words? And whose spirit has come forth from you?

The deceased are made to tremble Beneath the waters, and those who inhabit them.

Sheol is naked before Him, And Abaddon has no covering.

He stretches out the north over the void; He hangs the earth upon nothing.

He binds up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not rent under them.

He covers the face of His throne; He spreads His cloud over it.

He drew a circle on the surface of the waters As a boundary of the light and the darkness.

The pillars of heaven shook And were astounded at His rebuke.

By His power He stilled the sea, And by His understanding He struck down Rahab.

By His Spirit the heavens became beauty; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.

Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways; And how small a whisper do we hear of Him! But as for the thundering of His mightiness, who can comprehend it?
