¹Then Job answered and said, ²“How you have helped ⌞one who has no power⌟! How you have assisted the arm ⌞that has no strength⌟! ³How you have advised ⌞one who has no wisdom⌟! And what sound wisdom you have made known ⌞in abundance⌟! ⁴⌞With whose help⌟ have you uttered words, and whose breath has come forth from you? ⁵“The spirits of the dead tremble below the waters and their inhabitants. ⁶Sheol is naked before him, and there is no covering for Abaddon. ⁷He stretches out the north over emptiness; he hangs the earth ⌞over nothing⌟. ⁸He ties up the water in its clouds, and the cloud is not torn open beneath it. ⁹He covers the face of the full moon; he spreads his cloud over it. ¹⁰⌞He has described a circle⌟ on the face of the water ⌞between light and darkness⌟. ¹¹“The pillars of heaven tremble, and they are astounded at his rebuke. ¹²By his power he stilled the sea, and by his understanding he struck down Rahab. ¹³By his breath ⌞the heavens were made clear⌟; his hand pierced the fleeing snake. ¹⁴Look, these are the outer fringes of his ways, and ⌞how faint is the word⌟ that we hear of him! But who can understand the thunder of his power?”
