Job replied,
2
“How helpful you have been to this feeble man that I am. How supportive you have been to the weak.
3
What good advice you have given to this ignorant man, demonstrating you have so much wisdom.
4
Who helped you speak these words? Who inspired you to say such things?*
5
The dead tremble, those beneath the waters.
6
Sheol lies naked before God, Abaddon is uncovered.*
7
He stretches the northern sky over empty space; he hangs the world on nothing.
8
He gathers the rain in his storm clouds which do not break under the weight.
9
He veils his throne; covering it with his clouds.
10
On the surface of the waters he set a boundary; he set a limit dividing light from darkness.*
11
The pillars of heaven tremble; they shake with fear at his rebuke.*
12
He calmed the sea with his power; because he knew what to do, he crushed Rahab.*
13
The breath of his voice made the heavens beautiful; with his hand he pierced the gliding serpent.*
14
This is just a little of all he does—what we hear of him is hardly a whisper, so who can understand his thunderous power?”
