1 Then Job responded and said:
2 “How you have helped the powerless! How you have saved the arm without strength!
3 How you have counseled the one without wisdom and revealed your abundant insights!
4 To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit has come from your mouth?
5 “The dead tremble— those beneath the water and all that live in them.
6 Sheol is naked before Him; Abaddon has no covering.
7 He stretches out the north over the void; He suspends the earth over nothing.
8 He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under them.
9 He covers the face of the full moon, spreading His clouds over it.
10 He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters, for a boundary between light and dark.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble, astounded at His rebuke!
12 By His power He churns up the sea; by His understanding He smashed Rahab.
13 By His Ruach the heavens are clear; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
14 Indeed, these are but glimpses of His ways; how faint the whisper, we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His might?”
