[1]And Job answereth and saith: --
[2]What -- thou hast helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
[3]What -- thou hast given counsel to the unwise, And wise plans in abundance made known.
[4]With whom hast thou declared words? And whose breath came forth from thee?
[5]The Rephaim are formed, Beneath the waters, also their inhabitants.
[6]Naked [is] Sheol over-against Him, And there is no covering to destruction.
[7]Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth upon nothing,
[8]Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not rent under them.
[9]Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading over it His cloud.
[10]A limit He hath placed on the waters, Unto the boundary of light with darkness.
[11]Pillars of the heavens do tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
[12]By His power He hath quieted the sea, And by His understanding smitten the proud.
[13]By His Spirit the heavens He beautified, Formed hath His hand the fleeing serpent.
[14]Lo, these [are] the borders of His way, And how little a matter is heard of Him, And the thunder of His might Who doth understand?
