How hast thou helped him that is without power
? how savest
thou the arm
that hath no
strength
?
How hast thou counselled him that hath no
wisdom
? and how hast thou plentifully
declared
the thing as it is
?
To whom hast thou uttered words
? and whose spirit
came
from thee?
Dead things are formed
from under the waters
, and the inhabitants
thereof.
Hell is naked
before him, and destruction
hath no covering
.
He stretcheth out the north
over the empty place
, and hangeth
the earth
upon nothing
.
He bindeth up the waters
in his thick clouds
; and the cloud
is not rent
under them.
He holdeth back the face
of his throne
, and spreadeth
his cloud
upon it.
He hath compassed the waters
with bounds
, until the day
and night
come to an end
.
The pillars of heaven
tremble
and are astonished
at his reproof
.
He divideth the sea
with his power
, and by his understanding
he smiteth
through the proud
.
By his spirit he hath garnished
the heavens
; his hand
hath formed
the crooked
serpent
.
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
?
