1. Then Job answered:
2. How you have helped the powerlessand delivered the arm that is weak!
3. How you have counseled the unwise and thoroughly explained the path to success!
4. Who did you speak these words to?Whose breath came out of your mouth?
5. The departed spirits tremblebeneath the waters and all that inhabit them.
6. Sheol is naked before God,and Abaddon has no covering.
7. He stretches the northern skies over empty space;He hangs the earth on nothing.
8. He wraps up the waters in His clouds,yet the clouds do not burst beneath their weight.
9. He obscures the view of His throne,spreading His cloud over it.
10. He laid out the horizon on the surface of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.
11. The pillars that hold up the sky tremble,astounded at His rebuke.
