1But Job answered and said , 2How hast thou helped him that is without power ? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength ? 3How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom ? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is ? 4To whom hast thou uttered words ? and whose spirit came from thee?
The Power of God in Creation
5Dead things are formed from under the waters , and the inhabitants thereof. 6Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering . 7He stretcheth out the north over the empty place , and hangeth the earth upon nothing . 8He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds ; and the cloud is not rent under them. 9He holdeth back the face of his throne , and spreadeth his cloud upon it. 10He hath compassed the waters with bounds , until the day and night come to an end .
