[1]But Job answered and said,[2]To whom dost thou attach thyself, or whom art thou going to assist? is it not he that has much strength, and he who has a strong arm?[3]To whom hast thou given counsel? is it not to him who has all wisdom? whom wilt thou follow? is it not one who has the greatest power?[4]To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose breath is it that has come forth from thee?[5]Shall giants be born from under the water and the inhabitants thereof?[6]Hell is naked before him, and destruction has no covering.[7]He stretches out the north wind upon nothing, and he upon nothing hangs the earth;[8]binding water in his clouds, and the cloud is not rent under it.[9]He keeps back the face of his throne, stretching out his cloud upon it.[10]He has encompassed the face of the water by an appointed ordinance, until the end of light and darkness.[11]The pillars of heaven are prostrate and astonished at his rebuke.[12]He has calmed the sea with his might, and by his wisdom the whale has been overthrown.[13]And the barriers of heaven fear him, and by a command he has slain the apostate dragon.[14]Behold, these are parts of his way; and we will hearken to him at the least intimation of his word: but the strength of his thunder who knows, when he shall employ it?
