1 Then Job answered,

2 “How have you helped him who is without power!

3 How have you counseled him who has no wisdom,

4 To whom have you uttered words?

5 “The departed spirits tremble,

6 Sheol is naked before God,

7 He stretches out the north over empty space,

8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds,

9 He encloses the face of his throne,

10 He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters,

11 The pillars of heaven tremble

12 He stirs up the sea with his power,

13 By his Spirit the heavens are garnished.

14 Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways.
