1 But Job answered and said,
And Job answered and said,
2 How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
How hast thou helped the powerless; how saved the arm that is without strength!
3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and abundantly 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.

7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
He stretcheth out the north over empty space, he 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.
He covereth the face of his throne, he spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
He hath traced a fixed circle over the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
The pillars of the heavens tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
12 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
He stirreth up the sea by his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.
13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
By his Spirit the heavens are adorned; his hand hath formed the fleeing 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?
Lo, these are the borders of his ways; but what a whisper of a word do we hear of him! And the thunder of his power, who can understand?
