1 A nd Job answereth and saith: --

2 W hat -- thou hast helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!

3 W hat -- thou hast given counsel to the unwise, And wise plans in abundance made known.

4 W ith whom hast thou declared words? And whose breath came forth from thee?

5 T he Rephaim are formed, Beneath the waters, also their inhabitants.

6 N aked Sheol over-against Him, And there is no covering to destruction.

7 S tretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth upon nothing,

8 B inding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not rent under them.

9 T aking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading over it His cloud.

10 A limit He hath placed on the waters, Unto the boundary of light with darkness.

11 P illars of the heavens do tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.

12 B y His power He hath quieted the sea, And by His understanding smitten the proud.

13 B y His Spirit the heavens He beautified, Formed hath His hand the fleeing serpent.

14 L o, these the borders of His way, And how little a matter is heard of Him, And the thunder of His might Who doth understand?
