Then Job answered, and said,
2 Whom helpest thou? him that hath no power? sauest thou the arme that hath no strength?
How thou have helped him who is without power! How thou have saved the arm that has no strength!
3 Whome counsellest thou? him that hath no wisedome? thou shewest right well as the thing is.
How thou have counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
4 To whom doest thou declare these words? or whose spirit commeth out of thee?
To whom have thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?

13 His Spirite hath garnished the heauens, and his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

14 Loe, these are part of his wayes: but how litle a portion heare we of him? and who can vnderstand his fearefull power?
Lo, these are but the periphery of his ways. And how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?
