Then Job answered, --
|
2 |
'How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength! --
|
3 |
How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, And plentifully declared sound knowledge! --
|
4 |
To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came forth from you? --
|
5 |
'Those who are deceased tremble, Those beneath the waters and all that live in them. --
|
6 |
Sheol is naked before God, And Abaddon has no covering. --
|
7 |
He stretches out the north over empty space, And hangs the earth on nothing. --
|
8 |
He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, And the cloud is not burst under them. --
|
9 |
He encloses the face of his throne, And spreads his cloud on it. --
|
10 |
He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, And to the confines of light and darkness. --
|
11 |
The pillars of heaven tremble And are astonished at his rebuke. --
|
12 |
He stirs up the sea with his power, And by his understanding he strikes through Rahab. --
|
13 |
By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent. --
|
14 |
Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?' --
