1 Then Job said:
2 How well you have helped the weak,saved those with frail arms,
3 advised one lacking wisdom,informed many with insight!
4 With whom have you spoken;whose breath was expelled from you?
5 The dead writhe,the inhabitants beneath the waters as well.
6 The grave is naked before God;the underworld lacks covering.
7 He stretched the North over chaos,hung earth over nothing;
8 wrapped up water in his clouds,yet they didn’t burst out below;
9 hid the face of the full moon,spreading his cloud over it;
10 traced a circle on the water’s surface,at the limit of light and darkness.
11 Heaven’s pillars shook,terrified by his blast.
12 By his power he stilled the Sea;split Rahab with his cleverness.
13 Due to his wind, heaven became clear;his hand split the fleeing serpent.
14 Look, these are only the outer fringe of his ways;we hear only a whispered word about him.Who can understand his thunderous power?
