1 But Job answered and said, |
2 How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength? |
3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is? |
4 To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee? |
5 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof. |
6 Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. |
7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. |
8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them. |
9 He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it. |
10 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end. |
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof. |
12 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud. |
13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent. |
14 Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand? |
