Job: Who Can Understand God’s Majesty?

1Then Job answered,+ 2“How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength!+ 3How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!+ 4To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came out of you?+ 5“The departed spirits tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.+ 6Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.+ 7He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.+ 8He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.+ 9He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.+ 10He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.+ 11The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.+ 12He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.+ 13By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.+ 14Behold, 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?”+
