But Job
answered
and said,
How hast thou helped
him that is without power?
how savest
thou the arm
that hath no
strength?
How hast thou counselled
him that hath no
wisdom?
and how hast thou plentifully
declared
the thing as it is?
To whom hast thou uttered
words?
and whose spirit
came
from thee?
Dead
things are formed
from under the waters,
and the inhabitants
thereof.
Hell
is naked
before him, and destruction
hath no covering.
He stretcheth out
the north
over the empty place,
and hangeth
the earth
upon nothing.
He bindeth up
the waters
in his thick clouds;
and the cloud
is not rent
under them.
He holdeth back
the face
of his throne,
and spreadeth
his cloud
upon it.
He hath compassed
the waters
with bounds,
until the day
and night
come to an end.
The pillars
of heaven
tremble
and are astonished
at his reproof.
He divideth
the sea
with his power,
and by his understanding
he smiteth
through the proud.
By his spirit
he hath garnished
the heavens;
his hand
hath formed
the crooked
serpent.
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?
