- 2. "How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength!
- 3. How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
- 4. To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came forth from you?
- 5. "Those who are deceased tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
- 6. Sheol{Sheol is the lower world or the grave.} is naked before God, and Abaddon{Abaddon means Destroyer.} has no covering.
- 7. He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.
- 8. He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.
- 9. He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
- 10. He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.
- 11. The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
- 12. He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
- 13. By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
- 14. Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?"
