1Then Job answered and said,

2“How you have helped one who has no power!
How you have saved the arm that has no strength!

3How you have advised one who has no wisdom
and announced to him sound knowledge!

4With whose help have you spoken these words?
Whose spirit was it that came out from you?

5The dead are made to tremble,
those who are beneath the waters
and all who dwell in them.

6Sheol is naked before God;
destruction itself has no covering against him.

7He stretches out the northern skies
over the empty space,
and he hangs the earth over nothing.

8He binds up the waters in his thick clouds,
but the clouds are not torn under them.

9He covers the surface of the moon
and spreads his clouds on it.

10He has engraved a circular boundary on the surface of the waters
as the line between light and darkness.

11The pillars of heaven tremble
and are astonished at his rebuke.

12He calmed the sea with his power;
by his understanding he shattered Rahab.

13By his breath he made the skies clear;
his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.

14See, these are but the fringes of his ways;
how small a whisper do we hear of him!
Who can understand the thunder of his power?”
