Job
1
Then Job replied:
2
"How you have helped the powerless!
How you have saved the arm that is feeble!
3
What advice you have offered to one without wisdom!
And what great insight you have displayed!
4
Who has helped you utter these words?
And whose spirit spoke from your mouth?
5
"The dead are in deep anguish, those beneath the waters
and all that live in them.
6
Death is naked before God; Destruction lies uncovered.
7
He spreads out the northern skies over empty space;
he suspends the earth over nothing.
8
He wraps up the waters in his clouds,
yet the clouds do not burst under their weight.
9
He covers the face of the full moon, spreading his clouds over it.
10
He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters
for a boundary between light and darkness.
11
The pillars of the heavens quake, aghast at his rebuke.
12
Bt his power he churned up the sea; by his wisdom he put Eahab to pieces.
13
By his breath the skies become fair; his hand pierced the gliding serpent.
14
And these are but the outer fringe of his works;
how faint the whisper we hear of him!
Who then can understand the thunder of his power?"
