[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?
