| 1 | But Job answered and said, |
| 2 | How hast thou helped [him that is] without power? [how] savest thou the arm [that hath] no strength? |
| 3 | How hast thou counselled [him that hath] no wisdom? and [how] hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is? |
| 4 | To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee? |
| 5 | Dead [things] are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof. |
| 6 | Hell [is] naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. |
| 7 | He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, [and] hangeth the earth upon nothing. |
| 8 | He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them. |
| 9 | He holdeth back the face of his throne, [and] spreadeth his cloud upon it. |
| 10 | He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end. |
| 11 | The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof. |
| 12 | He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud. |
| 13 | By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent. |
| 14 | Lo, these [are] parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand? |
