1Then Job answered and said , 2How hast thou helped him that is without power ! How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength ! 3How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom , And plentifully declared sound knowledge ! 4To whom hast thou uttered words ? And whose spirit came forth from thee ?
The Power of God in Creation
5They that are deceased tremble Beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof . 6Sheol is naked before God , And Abaddon hath no covering . 7He stretcheth out the north over empty space , And hangeth the earth upon nothing . 8He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds ; And the cloud is not rent under them . 9He incloseth the face of his throne , And spreadeth his cloud upon it . 10He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters , Unto the confines of light and darkness .
God's Sovereignty Over the Spiritual Realm
11The pillars of heaven tremble And are astonished at his rebuke . 12He stirreth up the sea with his power , And by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab . 13By his Spirit the heavens are garnished ; His hand hath pierced the swift serpent . 14Lo , these are but the outskirts of his ways : And how small a whisper do we hear of him ! But the thunder of his power who can understand ?
