| 1 | Then Job answered and said: |
| 2 | How hast thou helped him that is without power! How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength! |
| 3 | How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, And plentifully declared sound knowledge! |
| 4 | With whose help hast thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee? |
| 5 | The shades tremble Beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof. |
| 6 | The nether-world is naked before Him, And Destruction hath no covering. |
| 7 | He stretcheth out the north over the empty space, And hangeth the earth over nothing. |
| 8 | He bindeth up the waters in His thick clouds; And the cloud is not rent under them. |
| 9 | He closeth in the face of His throne, And spreadeth His cloud upon it. |
| 10 | He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, Unto the confines of light and darkness. |
| 11 | The pillars of heaven tremble And are astonished at His rebuke. |
| 12 | He stirreth up the sea with His power, And by His understanding He smiteth through Rahab. |
| 13 | By His breath the heavens are serene; His hand hath pierced the slant serpent. |
| 14 | Lo, these are but the outskirts of His ways; And how small a whisper is heard of Him! But the thunder of His mighty deeds who can understand? |
