261Then Job answered:+2“How you have helped the powerlessand saved the arm that is feeble!+3How you have counseled the unwiseand provided fully sound insight!+4To whom have you uttered these words?And whose spirit spoke through you?+5The dead tremble —those beneath the waters and those who dwell in them.+6Sheol is naked before God,and Abaddon has no covering.+7He stretches out the north over empty space;He hangs the earth upon nothing.+8He wraps up the waters in His clouds,yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight.+9He covers the face of the full moon,spreading over it His cloud.+10He has inscribed a horizon on the face of the watersat the boundary between light and darkness.+11The foundations of heaven quake,astounded at His rebuke.+12By His power He stirred the sea;by His understanding He shattered Rahab.+13By His breath the skies were cleared;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 understandthe thunder of His power?”+Footnotes (4)
