[1] But Job answered, and said,
[2] Whom helpest thou? Him that hath no power? Savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
[3] Whom counselest thou? Him that hath no wisdom? Thou showest right well as the thing is.
[4] To whom dost thou declare these words? Or whose spirit cometh out of thee?
[5] The dead things are formed under the waters, and near unto them.
[6] The grave is naked before him, and there is no covering for destruction.
[7] He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
[8] He bindeth the waters in his clouds, and the cloud is not broken under them.
[9] He holdeth back the face of his throne: and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
[10] He hath set bounds about the waters, until the day and night come to an end.
[11] The pillars of heaven tremble and quake at his reproof.
[12] The sea is calm by his power, and by his understanding he smiteth the pride thereof.
[13] His spirit hath garnished the heavens, and his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
[14] Lo, these are part of his ways: but how little a portion hear we of him? And who can understand his fearful power?
