1 Job answered then:
2 What help have you given to the powerless, what strength to the enfeebled arm?
3 What advice have you offered to the foolish, and what great insight have you shown?
4 Who has inspired in you these words? Whose spirit spoke from your mouth?
5 The shades of the deep are terrified, the waters and their inhabitants tremble.
6 Sheol is naked before God; destruction lies uncovered.
7 Over the void he spreads out the northern skies; over emptiness he suspends the earth.
8 He wraps up the waters in his clouds, yet the clouds do not burst their seams.
9 He covers the face of the moon and spreads his clouds over it.
10 On the face of the waters he draws the horizon as a boundary between light and darkness.
11 The pillars of the heavens quake, stunned at his thunderous rebuke.
12 By his power he stilled the sea; by his wisdom he smote Rahab.
13 By his wind the skies were cleared; his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
14 These are but hints of his power; a whisper is all that we hear of him. But who can understand the thunder of his might?
