[1]But Job answered and said,[2]How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?[3]How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?[4]To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?[5]Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.[6]Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.[7]He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.[8]He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.[9]He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.[10]He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.[11]The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.[12]He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.[13]By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.[14]Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
