1Then Job replied:

2“How you have helped the powerless and saved the arm that is feeble!

2"How you have helped the powerless! How you have saved the person who has no strength!

3How you have counseled the unwise and provided fully sound insight!

3How you have advised the one without wisdom, and abundantly revealed your insight!

4To whom have you uttered these words? And whose spirit spoke through you?

4To whom did you utter these words? And whose spirit has come forth from your mouth?

5The dead tremble—those beneath the waters and those who dwell in them.

10He has inscribed a horizon on the face 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 foundations of heaven quake, astounded at His rebuke.

11The pillars of the heavens tremble and are amazed at his rebuke.

12By His power He stirred the sea; by His understanding He shattered Rahab.

12By his power he stills the sea; by his wisdom he cut Rahab the great sea monster to pieces.

13By His breath the skies were cleared; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.

13By his breath the skies became fair; his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.

14Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways; how faint is the whisper we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His power?”

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?"
