[1] Then Job answered,
[2] “How have you helped him who is without power!
How have you saved the arm that has no strength!
[3] How have you counseled him who has no wisdom,
and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
[4] To whom have you uttered words?
Whose spirit came out of you? [5] “The departed spirits tremble,
those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
[6] Sheolⓘ is naked before God,
and Abaddonⓘ has no covering.
[7] He stretches out the north over empty space,
and hangs the earth on nothing.
[8] He binds up the waters in his thick clouds,
and the cloud is not burst under them.
[9] He encloses the face of his throne,
and spreads his cloud on it.
[10] He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters,
and to the confines of light and darkness.
[11] The pillars of heaven tremble
and are astonished at his rebuke.
[12] He stirs up the sea with his power,
and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
[13] By his Spirit the heavens are garnished.
His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
[14] 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?”

Job’s Reply

[1] But Job H347 answered H6030 and said, H559
[2] How hast thou helped H5826 him that is without power? H3581
How savest H3467 thou the arm H2220 that hath no H3808 strength? H5797
[3] How hast thou counselled H3289 him that hath no H3808 wisdom? H2451
And how hast thou plentifully H7230 declared H3045 the thing as it is? H8454
[4] To whom hast thou uttered H5046 words? H4405
And whose spirit H5397 came H3318 from thee?
[5] Dead H7496 things are formed H2342
From under the waters, H4325 and the inhabitants H7931§ thereof.
[6] Hell H7585 is naked H6174 before him,
And destruction H11 hath no covering. H3682
[7] He stretcheth out H5186 the north H6828 over H5921 the empty place, H8414
And hangeth H8518 the earth H776 upon H5921 nothing. H1099
[8] He bindeth up H6887 the waters H4325 in his thick clouds; H5645
And the cloud H6051 is not rent H1234 under them.
[9] He holdeth back H270 the face H6440 of his throne, H3678
And spreadeth H6576 his cloud H6051 upon it.
[10] He hath compassed H2328 the waters H6440 H4325 with H5973 bounds, H2706
Until H5704 the day H216 and night H2822§ come to an end. H8503
[11] The pillars H5982 of heaven H8064 tremble H7322
And are astonished H8539 at his reproof. H1606
[12] He divideth H7280 the sea H3220 with his power, H3581
And by his understanding H8394 H8394 he smiteth H4272 through the proud. H7293§
[13] By his spirit H7307 he hath garnished H8235 the heavens; H8064
His hand H3027 hath formed H2342 the crooked H1281 serpent. H5175
[14] Lo, these are parts H7098 of his ways: H1870
But how little H8102 a portion H1697 is heard H8085 of him?
But the thunder H7482 of his power H1369 who can understand? H995
