| 1 | Then Job responded by saying: |
| 2 | Whose assistant are you? Is he weak-minded? And do you sustain the arm of him that is not strong? |
| 3 | To whom have you given advice? Perhaps it is to him that has no wisdom or prudence that you have revealed your many ideas. |
| 4 | Who is it that you wanted to teach? Was it not him that created the breath of life? |
| 5 | Behold, giant things groan under the waters, and they dwell with them. |
| 6 | The underworld is naked before him, and there is no covering for perdition. |
| 7 | He stretched out the North over emptiness, and he suspended the land over nothing. |
| 8 | He secures the waters in his clouds, so that they do not burst forth downward all at once. |
| 9 | He holds back the face of his throne, and he stretches his cloud over it. |
| 10 | He has set limits around the waters, until light and darkness shall reach their limit. |
| 11 | The pillars of heaven tremble and are frightened at his nod. |
| 12 | By his strength, the seas suddenly gather together, and his foresight has struck the arrogant. |
| 13 | His spirit has adorned the heavens, and his birthing hand has brought forth the winding serpent. |
| 14 | Behold, these things have been said about his ways in part, and, since we barely have heard a small drop of his word, who will be able to gaze upon the thunder of his greatness? |
