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 counseled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou 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. |
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 encompassed 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 by 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? |
