1Then Job answered:1Then Job replied:
2How you have helped the powerless and delivered the arm that is weak!2"How you have helped the powerless! How you have saved the person who has no strength!
3How you have counseled the unwise and abundantly provided insight!3How you have advised the one without wisdom, and abundantly revealed your insight!
4With whom did you speak these words? Whose breath came out of your mouth?4To whom did you utter these words? And whose spirit has come forth from your mouth?
5The departed spirits tremble beneath the waters and all that inhabit them.5"The dead tremble--those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
6Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.6The underworld is naked before God; the place of destruction lies uncovered.
7He stretches the northern skies over empty space; he hangs the earth on nothing.7He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth on nothing.
8He wraps up the water in his clouds, yet the clouds do not burst beneath its weight.8He locks the waters in his clouds, and the clouds do not burst with the weight of them.
9He obscures the view of his throne, spreading his cloud over it.9He conceals the face of the full moon, shrouding it with his clouds.
10He laid out the horizon on the surface of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.10He marks out the horizon on the surface of the waters as a boundary between light and darkness.
11The pillars that hold up the sky tremble, astounded at his rebuke.11The pillars of the heavens tremble and are amazed at his rebuke.
12By his power he stirred the sea, and by his understanding he crushed Rahab.12By his power he stills the sea; by his wisdom he cut Rahab the great sea monster to pieces.
13By his breath the heavens gained their beauty; his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.13By his breath the skies became fair; his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
14These are but the fringes of his ways; how faint is the word we hear of him! Who can understand his mighty thunder?14Indeed, these are but the outer fringes of his ways! How faint is the whisper we hear of him! But who can understand the thunder of his power?"
