1Then Job answered:Then Job answered,But Job answered and said,Then Job answered and said,2“How you have helped the powerless and saved the arm that is feeble!“How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength!How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?How hast thou helped him that is without power! How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!3How you have counseled the unwise and provided fully sound insight!How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!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 plentifully declared sound knowledge!4To whom have you uttered these words? And whose spirit spoke through you?To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came out of you?To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?To whom hast thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?5The dead tremble—those beneath the waters and those who dwell in them.“The departed spirits tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.They that are deceased tremble Beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.6Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.Sheol is naked before God, And Abaddon hath no covering.7He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth upon nothing.He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.He stretcheth out the north over empty space, And hangeth the earth upon nothing.8He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight.He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; And the cloud is not rent under them.9He covers the face of the full moon, spreading over it His cloud.He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.He incloseth the face of his throne, And spreadeth his cloud upon it.10He has inscribed a horizon on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, Unto the confines of light and darkness.11The foundations of heaven quake, astounded at His rebuke.The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.The pillars of heaven tremble And are astonished at his rebuke.12By His power He stirred the sea; by His understanding He shattered Rahab.He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.He stirreth up the sea with his power, And by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.13By His breath the skies were cleared; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.By his Spirit the heavens are garnished; His hand hath pierced the swift serpent.14Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways; how faint is the whisper we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His power?”Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?”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 but the outskirts of his ways: And how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?
