Then Job answered: |
|
2
|
“How you have helped the powerless and saved the arm that is feeble! |
|
3
|
How you have counseled the unwise and provided fully sound insight! |
|
4
|
To whom have you uttered these words? And whose spirit spoke through you? |
|
5
|
The dead tremble—those beneath the waters and those who dwell in them. |
|
6
|
Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering. |
|
7
|
He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth upon nothing. |
|
8
|
He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight. |
|
9
|
He covers the face of the full moon, spreading over it His cloud. |
|
10
|
He has inscribed a horizon on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness. |
|
11
|
The foundations of heaven quake, astounded at His rebuke. |
|
12
|
By His power He stirred the sea; by His understanding He shattered Rahab. |
|
13
|
By His breath the skies were cleared; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent. |
|
14
|
Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways; how faint is the whisper we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His power?” |
