[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?
