1Then Job answered: 2"How you have helped the weak!
How you have saved the arm that has no strength! 3What great advice you have given to the one without wisdom!
What wise insight you have given so freely! 4Who did you say these words to?
Whose spirit spoke through you? 5The dead tremble,
those under the waters and those who live in them. 6The grave lies open before God.
The place of destruction has no covering.a 7He stretches out the northern sky over empty space.
He hangs the earth on nothing. 8He wraps up the waters in his clouds.
Yet the clouds don't burst under their weight. 9He covers the face of the full moon.
He spreads his cloud over it. 10He has marked out the horizon on the face of the waters.
It is the line between light and darkness. 11The pillars that hold up the sky shake.
They are amazed when he scolds them. 12By his power he stirred up the sea.
By his understanding he smashed Rahab.b 13By his breath the skies were made clear.
His hand stabbed the snake that was running away. 14These are only the edges of his ways.
We hear only a soft whisper of him!
Then who can understand the thunder of his power?"
