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?
